Filming in Latvia

Planning to film in Latvia? The country offers experienced local crew, strong visual variety and practical production infrastructure for international shoots. We help productions understand what is realistic, what needs planning, and how to build the right local setup for a smooth shoot.

Why film in Latvia

Latvia works well for a wide range of productions, from documentaries and branded content to commercials, corporate shoots and more complex multi-location projects. Productions can combine Riga architecture, Baltic coastline, forest landscapes, industrial settings and quieter regional areas within one manageable country.

What support we provide

We help international teams plan and execute shoots in Latvia with the right mix of fixers, local producers, crew sourcing, location scouting, permits, transport coordination, equipment rental support and day-to-day shoot logistics.

Filming in Riga and regional areas

Riga is the main production base for many shoots because of its crew base, transport links and range of locations, but we also support productions working in Jūrmala, Liepāja, Daugavpils and wider regional Latvia. The right approach depends on the brief, crew footprint, access requirements and how efficiently the route can be planned.

Permits, access and practical planning

The practical setup matters as much as the locations. We help producers plan permits, access, recces, travel days, crew movements and scheduling around the realities of filming in Latvia so that the production can move efficiently from prep into shoot days.
