Filming in Angola
Filming in Angola is expensive. It is one of the most expensive countries in Africa – and we have our own people on the ground who help us get around these obstacles, making us your perfect Angola fixer.
The best time to film in Angola is not a necessary worry because the weather is great all year (not too wet, and never too hot!)

ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY
Filming in Angola is tricky because of the underdeveloped infrastructure. There are challenges in costs accessibility, as one doesn’t come without the other. And in the main city hubs, there are high costs indeed! However, we have our team in Angola who can assist, and we know the right people to mitigate unnecessary costs – but requires detail in the planning. (TIA – This Is Africa!)
Film Fixers highly recommends crews let us organize our local drivers who have experience navigating the many notorious roads of the African continent, as this ensures a smooth and safe experience for everyone involved and no issues with traffic police.
CUSTOMS AND EQUIPMENT
The country is not a member of the ATA Carnet system, and so crew will need additional permits to bring in film equipment from abroad. This does require a full equipment list. We have the right relationships with the right people to assist you getting this done.
Equipment hire is possible in Angola – but it depends on what equipment, and where you are based. The only area with equipment rental would be in Luanda. Regardless, we recommend bringing everything with you.
