Where I Work
Filming Hubs Across Morocco
Ouarzazate
The gateway to the Sahara and home of Morocco's largest studio complexes and desert backlots. Deep working relationships with studio facilities, backlot managers, and the local construction workforce.
Casablanca
Morocco's commercial capital for contemporary and urban shoots: modernist architecture, port infrastructure, and the country's densest supplier base for set dressing and rentals.
Tangier
Mediterranean light, medina labyrinths, and coastal locations doubling for the Levant and southern Europe — with established artisan contacts for period textiles and furniture.
Erfoud
Dune fields, oases, and fossil-rich desert plateaus. Proven experience running self-sufficient art-department camps far from urban supply lines.
Marrakech
Morocco's artisan capital, with the country's deepest network of souks, antique dealers, and prop workshops — supporting art-department work on smaller productions filming in and around the medina.
Fez
The best-preserved medieval medina in the Arab world, rich in tanneries, tilework, and traditional craftsmanship — supporting select productions shooting in its historic quarters.
Essaouira
A windswept Atlantic port town with a walled medina and working fishing harbor — supporting smaller coastal shoots and location scouting.
Rabat
Morocco's capital, pairing modern government architecture with the historic Kasbah of the Udayas — supporting select productions filming in the city.
