IN-COUNTRY FILMING

Are you working on a documentary or a reportage around and about a relatively obscure destination? Are you interested in an outright baffling story that turned out to be particularly hard to cover? Do you fear that language barriers and bureaucratic hurdles could hinder the realization of the project you are working on? Are you after some specifically challenging subjects you were unable to reach out to on your own? Or, perchance, you are into fiction and looking to shoot your next feature or TV episode in a country none of your film industry buddies back home would dare to venture into?

Thanks to our extensive network of local contacts, we can connect you with the right persons on site: fixers, drivers, translators, photographers, journalists, video makers, make-up artists, casting directors and more. Through our partners in the region we can also provide official press accreditations, detailed risk assessment reports, and recce (tech scout) in the areas you wish to work in.

Our team can also count on the external consulting, assistance and media services of award-winning explorer, filmmaker, writer and Royal Geographical Society-fellow Reza Pakravan, as well as on the decade-long photojournalism-experience of our company’s founder Gianluca Pardelli, whose reportages from the former Eastern Bloc, Africa and the Middle East have been featured in major magazines and newspapers around the globe.

At Soviet Tours, we pride ourselves on catering to a diverse clientele, offering services for both fiction and non-fiction projects. Whether you are in the industry of filmmaking, television series, or theater seeking unique settings and inspiration, or if you require insightful locations for documentaries, reportages, or news coverage, our extensive network and knowledge of offbeat travel destinations across the former USSR, Yugoslavia, Africa, and the Middle East can enhance your project.
