PRODUCTION |
|
We have handled both
logistically and financially challenging projects and are
recognized as being the regions’ leaders in the field of
film production and film production services. We can set up
remote production facilities quickly with efficient IT and
communication details. Our world class production value
allows filming of international feature films that could not
be made within the same budgetry constraints at home. Our
crew understands how different foreign productions work, are
flexible and can handle projects of all sizes. We have
established a close knit relationship with our preferred
suppliers, who offer enhanced service levels and
unsurpassed, competitive production costs. Our locations
database boast of numerous images collated from multiple
Blue Sky Films productions.
We have worked throughout East and Central Africa (Kenya,
Uganda, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Sudan, Ethiopia, Rwanda,) and
have established strong contact bases in these countries. We
offer invaluable support for the producer with our in-depth
knowledge and expertise in Kenyan tax and general law, and
expert accounting advice. We are exempted from paying VAT
(Value Added Tax) which greatly reduces production costs. |
