Antalya is one of Turkey’s most versatile filming destinations, offering Mediterranean coastlines, luxury resorts, historic locations, modern architecture, mountains, rural landscapes, and a wide range of production environments within a relatively short distance.

For international production companies planning to film in Antalya, having a reliable local film fixer and production partner can make the entire process easier — from permits and location scouting to crew, equipment, casting, transportation, and local production logistics.

Akar Film provides professional local production support for international film, television, commercial, documentary, music video, and digital productions filming in Antalya and throughout Turkey.

Your Local Production Partner in Antalya

International productions often face practical challenges when working in a new country: language barriers, local regulations, permits, crew availability, equipment logistics, locations, accommodation, transportation, and local suppliers.

Our role is to provide a direct connection between your production team and the local production network in Antalya.

Depending on the requirements of your project, we can assist with:

  • Film and commercial production permits
  • Official applications and local permissions
  • Location scouting and location management
  • Local production crew
  • Camera and lighting equipment
  • RED, ARRI Alexa and other professional cinema cameras
  • Camera assistants, DITs, gaffers and lighting crews
  • Production assistants and local coordinators
  • Local casting and actor support
  • Extras and background performers
  • Transportation and logistics
  • Accommodation and production-related arrangements
  • Local suppliers and production services
  • Translation and on-set coordination
  • Shooting schedules and local production planning

Film Permits and Official Production Procedures

Filming in Turkey can require different permissions depending on the type of production, location, subject matter, and production company.

Akar Film can assist international companies with the local production process and official permit procedures, helping coordinate the necessary applications and communication with relevant authorities and location owners.

Our local knowledge can help production companies understand what is required before arriving in Antalya and reduce unnecessary delays during the shoot.

We can support productions with location-specific requirements for:

  • Commercial shoots
  • Feature films
  • TV productions
  • Documentaries
  • Music videos
  • Corporate films
  • Social media and digital campaigns
  • Photo and video productions

Permit requirements can vary from project to project, so we recommend discussing the production details with us before confirming the shooting schedule.

Location Scouting in Antalya

Antalya offers an unusually diverse range of filming locations.

Within the region, productions can access Mediterranean beaches, luxury hotels and resorts, historic streets, ancient sites, modern city environments, mountains, forests, villages, private properties, industrial areas, restaurants, villas, and unique natural landscapes.

Our location support can include:

Location Research → Location Scouting → Photography → Availability Checks → Owner/Management Communication → Permit Coordination → Shooting-Day Support

If you already have visual references or a location brief, our team can search for suitable alternatives in Antalya and surrounding areas.

We can also help international production companies identify locations that match the visual requirements of a script, storyboard, mood board, or commercial treatment.

Professional Camera & Lighting Equipment

Bringing a complete camera package from abroad is not always practical or cost-effective.

Akar Film can provide access to professional production equipment in Antalya, depending on project requirements and availability.

Camera options may include professional cinema systems such as:

  • ARRI Alexa
  • RED Cinema Cameras
  • Professional cinema lenses
  • Camera accessories
  • Monitoring systems
  • Wireless video systems
  • Camera support equipment
  • Gimbals and stabilizers

Lighting and grip equipment can also be arranged according to the requirements of the production.

Our team can help build a package based on your shooting format, crew size, location, and production schedule.

Equipment can be supplied together with experienced local operators and technical crew when required.

Local Crew & Technical Support

A successful production is not only about equipment — the right local crew can make a significant difference.

We can help international productions source experienced local professionals, including:

  • Directors of Photography
  • Camera Operators
  • 1st AC / Focus Pullers
  • 2nd AC
  • DIT
