PAM Istanbul is the local production partner European agencies trust when they bring a project to Istanbul. We handle crew, permits, locations and logistics — so your creative team focuses on the work, not the paperwork.
Send us your project overview — shoot dates, location ideas, crew requirements, equipment wishlist and budget range. We'll respond within one business day with a preliminary breakdown and questions.
We scout locations based on your brief and provide a photo/video report within 48 hours. Simultaneously we produce a line-item budget estimate in EUR. No vague totals — every cost is itemised.
We apply for all necessary permits immediately on confirmation. We also confirm crew, book equipment, arrange transport and prepare a detailed shooting schedule and call sheet.
Our coordinator is on set from call time to wrap. We manage crew, communicate with locations, handle unexpected issues and keep your schedule. You focus on the creative. We handle everything else.
Equipment returns, location release, final cost reconciliation and data handover. If you need Istanbul-based post-production — editing, grade, sound — we can provide that too.
Service production covers everything a visiting agency or international crew needs on the ground: location scouting and permits, local camera crew and equipment, fixers and translators, casting, transport, catering, accommodation sourcing and full on-set coordination.
Day rates in Istanbul are significantly lower than Western Europe while maintaining broadcast quality. A typical fully crewed shoot day (DoP, gaffer, grip, sound, PA) starts from around €1,500–€2,500 depending on scope. Contact us for a line-by-line budget breakdown.
Yes. We regularly act as the local production partner for European agencies bringing their own creative team. We handle all ground logistics — permits, crew, locations, transport — while you keep creative control.
Most public location permits in Istanbul take 3–7 business days. Private property permissions can often be arranged within 24–48 hours. We manage all permit applications, so you arrive to a cleared set.
Our core team communicates fluently in English. We also have German and French-speaking coordinators available for larger European productions.
