Central Asia
Central Asia offers some of the most visually breathtaking and culturally unique filming locations on Earth — yet remains largely undiscovered by global productions. Stretching from the vast Kazakh steppes to the high-altitude lakes of Kyrgyzstan, the ancient cities of Uzbekistan, and the dramatic Pamir mountains of Tajikistan, the region is ideal for productions seeking exotic landscapes, architectural authenticity, and budget efficiency.
Kazakhstan leads the region in film infrastructure and international cooperation. Its sprawling deserts, snow-capped peaks, and futuristic cities like Nur-Sultan (Astana) and Almaty provide incredible visual variety. The country offers a 30% cash rebate for foreign productions, and local crews are experienced in supporting feature films, commercials, and branded content. Equipment rental, logistics, and location management are available through established partners.

Kyrgyzstan is a paradise for natural filmmakers, documentary teams, and adventure productions. With pristine alpine lakes, nomadic culture, and mountain vistas that rival the Alps or the Rockies, it offers raw and authentic settings at an affordable cost. While the country lacks formal film commissions, a network of reliable local fixers and production companies — including English-speaking crew — ensures seamless support on the ground.

Uzbekistan stands out for its architectural beauty and Silk Road history. Cities like Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva are living museums of Islamic and Persian architecture, ideal for period dramas or travel and historical documentaries. The government actively supports foreign productions, offering streamlined permits and access to heritage sites. Film-friendly local authorities and emerging production services make Uzbekistan increasingly attractive to filmmakers.

Tajikistan, the least developed in terms of infrastructure, compensates with sheer natural drama. The Pamir Mountains — known as the "Roof of the World" — offer unmatched altitude, rugged terrain, and timeless rural scenery. Though more logistically challenging, it’s a powerful setting for expedition-style filmmaking and unique stories off the beaten path.
Across the region, we assist with location scouting, equipment rentals, customs clearance, visa support, permits, and multilingual crew hiring. Our local partners understand the needs of international producers and will help you navigate language, culture, and logistics to bring your story to life.
