Spain pre-production, planned with precision

Here is how this works in practice. From Madrid's creative districts of Malasaña and La Latina to the sun-bleached squares of Seville and the industrial warehouse conversions of Barcelona's Poblenou. Our pre-production team builds the strategic scaffolding your project needs before a single camera rolls. We check locations across Andalusia, Catalonia, and the Canary Islands, mapping logistics, obtaining permits. And constructing shooting schedules so that each shoot days in Spain runs efficiently and within your creative brief. Whether you are shooting a drama in Granada's Albaicín or a commercial in Valencia's City of Arts and Sciences, preparation shapes everything.

Schedules built on real Spanish permitting timelines — from the Albaicín to Lanzarote — never optimistic guesses about town halls or crew calendars.

Here is the short of it. Our way to Concept Development makes sure your visual language is locked and agreed before the shoot starts. While Storyboarding translates each scene into a precise frame-by-frame roadmap that each department can follow. When talent is needed on screen, our Casting & Talent service reaches pro actors, presenters, and extras across Madrid and Barcelona. Along with regional pools in Valencia, Bilbao, and Málaga. We round out the process with Scriptwriting and Script Consultation. Shaping narratives that resonate with Spanish-speaking and global audiences while meeting broadcast and streaming delivery standards.

FAQs

Pre-Production FAQs

Clear answers on timelines, coverage, and how we tailor planning to your production.

What's included in pre-production services?

Here is how this works in practice. Our team gives complete production services which have script breakdown and scheduling and location selection across 17 Spanish autonomous communities and Madrid agency casting and crew member selection from our OK'd network and budget development in euros with ICAA tax credit calculations and permit submission to Spain Film Commission and local cities. You receive a production-ready package which becomes ready before the cameras start filming.

How long does pre-production take?

Here is the short of it. The process of obtaining locations and casting actors and wrapping ICAA forms for feature films needs a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks. The production timeline for commercials stays short because they need only 2 to 4 weeks to finish production when shoot sites have easy access. The process of getting documentary access and conducting interviews decides which film projects filmmakers can start their work on. The team can accelerate project work when needed but Spanish authority rules about permit processing create key time needs.

Do you work with international productions shooting in Spain?

That's our specialty. We bridge the gap between global shoots firms and Spanish crews, vendors, and authorities. Our team handles everything from carnet needs for gear crossing borders to setting up with Spanish unions and handling the ICAA co-production rules. Most of our clients are UK, US, German, and Asian shoots shooting on Spanish soil.

Can you work within a specific budget?

Here is the breakdown. The firm creates budgets which use euros as currency and have detailed line items that follow the formatting needs of the Spanish industrial sector. If you have a target number, we'll tell you honestly what's achievable—whether that means adjusting the shooting schedule, finding alternative locations, or restructuring the crew. We'd rather have a frank conversation upfront than deliver surprises later.

What happens if permits get denied or locations fall through?

Here is what that looks like on the ground. It happens, and we plan for it. The location packages we give have backup solutions and we have set up connections with Spanish property owners and film commissions to handle unexpected changes in filming locations. Our location managers have pulled off same-week replacements for everything from historic estate shoots to Spanish apartment interiors.
