Where Every Frame Tells a Story of Resilience
The Track Record: From facilitating the raw intensity of Sean Penn’s Superpower to the poignant, Oscar-nominated beauty of Sanatorium, our team knows how to capture the heart of Ukraine under the most demanding conditions.
The Aesthetic: Untouched Soviet-era architecture, vast agricultural plains, and modern urban centers that reflect the duality of life during the war.
The 2026 Incentive: A 30% cash rebate designed to support international storytellers who choose to work alongside Ukrainian talent.
The Honest Assessment: Production in Ukraine requires a “safety-first” mindset. Curfews, insurance complexities, and logistical shifts are part of the daily reality. However, the technical infrastructure remains surprisingly robust, with world-class Foley studios and equipment houses still operational.
How We Support You: We act as your primary risk-management partner. We handle the specialized insurance liaising, secure power-independent filming locations, and ensure your crew is supported by locals who have mastered the art of “wartime filmmaking.” We don’t just scout locations; we build a safe harbor for your creative vision.
