Security for productions on location and on set, planned around the shooting schedule, the unit’s footprint and the people in front of the camera.
We work with production companies, studios, location managers and talent representatives on feature films, television drama and commercials shooting in the UK and abroad. A production brings a large, mobile crew, valuable equipment, a public location and, often, recognisable people together for long days on a fixed schedule.
We plan around the call sheet rather than against it: unit base and set security, controlled access for cast, crew and visitors, protection for principals between hotel, set and airport, and overnight cover for equipment and vehicles, coordinated with the location manager and, where required, the local police and the council’s film office.
Illustrative scenario
A production takes over a London street for a week of night shoots with a well-known lead. We assess the location and the unit base, set access control for the set and the lead’s trailer, provide a protection officer for the lead’s movements and overnight security for the equipment trucks, and coordinate throughout with the location manager, the council’s film office and the local police.
Initial contact only. We follow up securely.
