Russia
From the ancient snowcapped mountain ranges to ocean-sized lakes and from remote rugged wilderness to picturesque countryside Russia is one of the most loved locations for film shoots. The world’s biggest country also has a lot of stunning places you’d never guess were all in Russia.
Unlike most of the countries where the government app 652t’s not easy and is quite expensive. There’s no difference in applying for business or tourist visas to Russia.
As filming in Russia is quite challenging and getting permits is time-consuming, a local fixer like Tirumala Productions can be of a great help to you. We can get the right permits for filming whether in the most popular sites or remote places.
The work of a fixer is no different from any part of the world. As the bureaucracy level in Russia is incredibly high, most of the times it looks almost impossible to get an official “OK” for your project. A fixer in Russia should have a clear knowledge on how to approach the clerks, any paperwork problem should be solved in a personal talk with the official and not during the formal interaction of an official and a supplicant. One of the biggest problems for a foreigner in Russia is the absolute unwillingness of any authorized representative to speak English.
Our fixers will get all the needed filming permits and will find for you in any city as quickly as possible. Please feel free to contact us for any help regarding the film shootings.
Many popular films were shot in Russia such as The Bourne Supremacy, Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Queen of Spades: The Dark Rite, and The Mermaid: Lake of the Dead.
