Production Services
One production partner for ambitious shoots across the UK and Europe, from the first location deck to the final wrap.
Kyoto-based, with a production network across Europe and the UK.
A trusted production partner
San Roku Ku gives international productions a single, accountable partner across the UK and Europe. We take ownership of the details that make a shoot work, including locations, permits, crew, travel, equipment, suppliers and on-set coordination, so your creative team can stay focused on the work.
From our Kyoto base, we coordinate with trusted local crews and suppliers across Europe. We understand how expectations, municipal rules and logistics shift from one market to the next, and turn that complexity into one clear schedule, one line of communication and one production plan.
Whether you need complete local production, an experienced fixer, or support for one critical part of the shoot, we build the right team around your brief. Our Japan base and international network also help campaigns moving between Asia and Europe.
What we handle
Full-service support or a precisely scoped local team, shaped around your creative, schedule and budget.
We scout and secure filming locations in London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Barcelona and throughout Europe. We identify suitable locations, negotiate access with venue owners, and handle permits for public spaces, historic sites and commercial venues.
San Roku Ku manages filming permit applications across European municipalities and UK local authorities. We understand the varying requirements of different jurisdictions and plan timelines to keep your production on schedule.
We source and coordinate experienced local crew across European production hubs and the UK. From camera operators and sound technicians to production assistants and specialist roles, we assemble teams matched to your project requirements.
Our bilingual team provides interpretation for production meetings, on-set coordination and talent management across European languages. We also translate call sheets, production documents, and release forms for international crews.
For productions filming in multiple European countries, we coordinate transport, crew travel, accommodation, equipment shipping, and daily logistics across borders.
San Roku Ku team members are available on-set during filming to manage local coordination, communicate with crew and locations, and resolve any issues in real time. We provide hands-on support from first call to wrap.
