Hey, stop mixing a film, with a commercial, with a documentary, with a novegasy... a basic lexical knowledge before you talk...

Africa has its pretty powerful exception... a pristine land no brilliant words can describe. Only heart can see, only eyes can experience, only brave steps can walk by.
A land where melty sunshine meets angry rain...
A land you need to get the approval from, before accessing some of its secrets.

was always meant to be a unique
It has never been easy for but thoughtful for the mind of any poet.
Finding inspiration of undisclosed stories is natural for any set foot on the Red Island...
But to be explored in any film needs more than a camera.

Will you dare to discover how ?

Anything that grows needs discretion and hard work...
Be confident in our appetite...

It's a brave act to get a video camera or a photo camera, but anyone should always wonder why spending money or savings on it. Not everyone is or will be a photographer or a director. You can't buy talent, you can't buy the ability to build up patiently and explicitly the lines of a story, nor shaping up the underlines of pure emotions. Clicking every 5 seconds on a button doesn't make great photographs... and doesn't tell anything.
It has more sense to preserve the willing to contribute to the spirit of sharing, to preserve culture, to witness history with the means of picturing.
Being a bold figure in our times is not about ego filled with selfies in bikini; selfishness or ass show never spread any support to make a better world.
In Madagascar, ambitious youth for acting, filming, being a photographer should be encouraged by starting to understand how the field of their targeted art works, and then passionately become a passionate professional. By themselves, or with the support of experienced ones (real ones, not some who got a seat at a function they don't deserve, while they don't know s**t).
Technics is just something any operating brain can learn.

A director or a producer should never be the only one credited for a successful movie... A robust conducted by the willing to achieve a goal together is the key success to challenges.
Thanks to the colossal support of crew pairing with who made this possible...
New alliances in movie making extends skills, push new talents...

Collective merit keeps alive...

Why scouting locations in Madagascar is more valuable with a local location manager than an intermediate agency recruiting a local film fixer, or, in some cases, a travel agent ?

Productions should always keep in mind that :
1) A travel agent...
- Doesn't know about film production requirements, he's specialized in individuals coming to a country for leisure,
- Business travelers travel agents deal with are not business people dealing with film equipment, film production deadlines, weather constraints, b-roll list to shoot, etc.
- Doesn't provide pre-production results on research, on character scout (in the case of a documentary for example), on crew selection (scouting a competent hairstylist for a commercial isn't a travel agent job),
- Doesn't have to know about the filming permit process and necessary follow up once application is delivered at the designated national authority...
The above examples explain why the travel agent is not the most appropriate partner's to a foreign producer willing to film in Madagascar.
Etc... etc...

2) The intermediate agency (generally own by an expatriate in Madagascar)
- Doesn't speak the native Malagasy language which is a vital passport to communicate, scout, meet, ask, negotiate, translate, deal with arrangements to film in Madagascar,
- Doesn't know about the hyper-local fomba (customs) which are complementary to the national filming permit to have a piece of mind to process to a film production in Madagascar... when those fomba needs to be investigated, findings and answers are better understood and are interpreted quite accurately by a Malagasy national than an expatriate,
- Hires local film professionals perfectly aware of an international film production standard requirement,
- Doesn't know the do's to get the best tips to find out about hidden suppliers for film equipment, secret film locations, etc.

Talking to a Malagasy national film professional is a worthy consideration to enhance the efficiency of pre-production coming ahead of the shoot...

How do productions get references from local film fixers ?

Filming in Madagascar production team and film crew automatically provides a list of previous clients, collaborators, co-workers they've been on field with to check their prior experience in film production.

Filming in Madagascar production team and film crew hare selected upon their knowledge and implementation of film production international standards.

When a production is working with Filming in Madagascar, film crew is snet to them and designated according to a list of strict criteria taking in account production scale, experience level, on location knowledge.
For example, a cameraman equipped and experience with a Sony FS5 and documentary film productions won't be assigned to the same productions as a focus puller with an extended experience with Red/Arri Alexa on feature films.
A makeup artists working on photography fashion shoots can't be compared to a fashion film makeup artist with a robust experience on filming. Pre-production is not exactly the same, team is not the same, process is not the same either... flexibility requested may be a bit different too !

The most overlooked challenge is how to get to know the real skills of a crew member, should clients need reference to check.
Filming in Madagascar handles the whole check process on brand new film production team or film crew that is set upon a strict protocole before they come on board.
Anyone applying to Filming in Madagascar with the honest willing to work in the field of a precise scope of work needs to provide accurate contacts to be checked.

Production can send a brief to detail the crew requested, wether it's a production, technical, arts, logistics department. Specific requirements are highly taken in consideration.

Production may send a simple request check in a mail to get an investigation of a local film professional past experience.

Film incentive & film commission in Madagascar : don't get wrong !

Production seeking to get a filming permit in Madagascar need to apply for a filming permit to the ISSM, which is the official authority in charge to deal with film permit applications. Anyone pretending to get you a permit in different terms, except upon an official authorization checked, is a fraudster. We warmly recommend productions to be in full compliance with the Malagasy local laws to get a Filming permit.
Contact Filming in Madagascar to get in the details of your filming permit application.

There's actually NO FILM COMMISSION in Madagascar and OMACI is the only recognized and legal authority to deliver national filming permit.

There's actually NO FILM OR TAX INCENTIVE in Madagascar. Filming in Madagascar is however production's line producer on location, handles the negotiations to guarantee a budget-wise orientation on pre-production and shooting request.
