Production Service in Cape Verde
The Atlantic’s Architectural and Volcanic Crossroads
Cape Verde is a stunning mid-Atlantic archipelago where Portuguese colonial history meets raw volcanic power. Filmmakers are captivated by its diverse island profiles: the white-sand dunes of Sal and Boa Vista, the jagged, emerald ravines of Santo Antão, and the lunar, ash-covered slopes of the active Fogo volcano. The capital, Praia, and the musical hub of Mindelo offer a unique “Luso-African” urban aesthetic, with cobbled streets and pastel-colored façades that serve as a timeless double for Mediterranean or coastal Brazilian settings.
While the local film support is budding, Cape Verde lacks the deep equipment reserves required for projects of scale. Leveraging the country’s profound cultural and linguistic ties to Portugal, our Portugal-based team provides the essential expertise and high-end technical packages to bridge this gap. We manage the Ministry of Culture permits and navigate the temporary import bonds with surgical precision, ensuring that the “Morabeza” (hospitality) of the islands is matched by world-class production success.
