Shoot in Brazil with Pitanga's structure

Based in São Paulo, with a strong network in Porto Alegre, working across the country. For production companies and agencies from Brazil and abroad that need crew, locations, permits and a set that runs in Portuguese and English.

Where we shoot

  • São Paulo

    Pitanga's base and the centre of Brazil's advertising market. Studios, rental houses, talent and crew in volume, and the country's main international airport.

  • Porto Alegre

    A strong network in the South. Mountains, pampas, coast and city within short drives, and a local crew we know by first name.

  • All of Brazil

    Rio, the Northeast, the Amazon, the Midwest. When the film leaves São Paulo, production travels with it, with local partners chosen per project.

What makes the difference

  • Executive production

    The person accountable for the budget, the contract and the schedule is in-house and talks to your producer as a peer. One person, from the first email to the final accounts.

  • Local production management

    A city-based production manager on set, with the crew, location and supplier network of someone who works here every day. No middleman between you and the ground.

What we cover

  • Budget and schedule

    A proposal with the maths shown, in reais, dollars or euros, and what is in and what is out stated in writing.

  • Locations and permits

    Research, tech scouts, film commissions, permits and street closures.

  • Local crew

    Production, camera, art, sound, electrics and grip. The set speaks Portuguese and English.

  • Casting

    Agencies and street casting, contracts, image and usage rights.

  • Equipment

    Camera, lenses, lighting, grip and drone through the rental houses in São Paulo and Porto Alegre.

  • Logistics

    Transport, accommodation, catering, insurance and temporary import of equipment.

  • ANCINE registration

    Foreign productions shooting in Brazil need ANCINE authorisation. We run the process.

  • Post and finishing

    Editing, colour, sound and deliverables to the client's spec, in our own suite or with your team.
