These are sad and troublesome days in Israel. What began as an attempt to destroy the only democracy in the Middle East and turn it into a dictatorship, has escalated to continuos terror attacks from within and without.
Is Israel still safe. for visiting production teams? We believe it is, but the fear of coming to shoot a film, video or a TV show in Israel is understandable. For customers who decide to come and produce therm shoots in Israel, we continue to provide the best production services, as we have been doing in the last 25 years. And for anyone who hesitates or feels reluctant to come – we offer our full package of remote production services. Our producers and crews are very experienced in producing remotely, providing our clients with a direct feed from shoots in any point in Israel.
And if you want our ask us – just drop us a line and we promise to give you our sincere advice.
Our democracy is under attack. The legally elected government of Israel decided to end its democratic regime. Under a corrupt prime minister who will do everything in his power to avoid criminal convictions, dozens of rules are being legislated in order to turn Israel into a hybrid dictatorship – theocracy.
The people of Israel said NO. We are on the streets, peacefully protesting in order to remain the only democracy in the Middle East.
These are historical days in Israel, now facing the worst crisis since it was established 75 years ago.
We continue to serve our customers with production services in Israel and the neighboring countries. When we don’t work, we demonstrate!
We are optimistic, because we are still a democracy, but that may change very soon. The events in Israel are unprecedented, and it seems that the public protest is only getting stronger. If you consider coming to Israel to follow and document these unprecedented events, let us know and we’d be glad to help.
Here is our news blog. Here we will tell about our recent works and will update with anything relevant to film and video production in Israel.

We are often asked “Is it safe to come and film in Israel?”
The answer is yes, definitely. There have been several terrorist attacks in the last weeks in and around Jerusalem, but none of them targeted visitors or tourists. Security in Jerusalem is higher than ever. Our production crews in Jerusalem feel completely safe when filming in the Old City of Jerusalem. As for the southern border with Gaza and the northern border with Lebanon and Syria – both are quiet.
There is an ongoing dramatic political turmoil in Israel, as hundreds of thousands of protestors demonstrate against the government attempts to change the nature of the Israeli democracy. These demonstrations are completely peaceful, they are known in advance and secured by massive police presence.
So, we believe it is as safe as ever to come and film in Israel, including Jerusalem. If you want to hear more, please feel free to drop us a line…
