Like your Londons and your Paris’s, Japan really gives you an unfriendly impression when it comes to production budget. Yes, especially in Tokyo or in any big city in Japan, you worry about whether you can afford to have your production here.

This is where we can help you.

Having a local partner who knows the filming business in and out of Japan will really help to cut down on your cost.

We can help you stay in budget accommodation;

you don’t necessarily need to hire a car if your kit is small;

you can in fact fly out yourself to work with a local team and save airfare for flying out an entire crew.

On the other hand, if you want a luxurious shoot ready for you and your VIP talent, we can fix that for you. We can tailor your shoot according to your budget and needs.​

Here we give you an idea of how much you can do with your budget:
