自社運営で、最初から最後まで責任を負います。
We support international productions with location scouting, permit applications, local crew and equipment, transport, accommodation and government liaison. Indonesia’s range — temples, volcanoes, jungles, world-class reefs and island coast — is deliverable on tight schedules through our fixer network.
対象： Production companies, commercial shoots and documentary teams filming in Indonesia.
Indonesia offers world-class range within short distances, and the practical lesson of working here is that the country rewards productions that respect its process. Neon megacity, snow country, ancient palaces and temples, mountain valleys and the volcanic coast of Komodo all sit within short flights or inter-island flights legs. The Indonesia Film Council and regional film commissions actively support foreign productions with location introductions and liaison, and some cities and provinces offer location-support funding for qualifying shoots — we confirm current incentive terms at feasibility stage, because they shift and vary by region. The headline truth: Indonesia's locations are extraordinary, and access is a matter of planning the permissions as seriously as the shoot.
Permits are the core of the legal picture. Filming on public land, at palaces and temples, in stations and on transport, and in national parks each carries its own permission layer, fees and conduct rules, arranged through the relevant authority and a licensed local coordinator. Crew need the correct visa class and work authorisation for paid filming — not tourist entries. Drones require Ministry of Land registration and flight permissions, with controlled airspace, crowds and parks each adding rules. Lead times run from days for simple commercial shoots to weeks for drama with sensitive locations. We sequence all of it against your production calendar.

- Permit and government liaison
- Local crew, fixers and equipment
- Transport and accommodation logistics
- Talent and extras coordination

How film production support works with Explera — step by step.
すべての案件は、最初の問い合わせから取引完了まで同じ責任あるシーケンスをたどります。以下はご予約が進むワークフローと、各段階で当社にご期待いただける内容です。
Script & feasibility review
Send the treatment, locations brief, shoot window and budget frame. We come back with a feasibility read: permit pathway and lead times, incentive eligibility estimate, location suggestions with reference photography, and the honest flags — what is straightforward in Indonesia, what is slow, and what is simply not going to be approved.
Location scout & permit filing
A scouting package follows — library options first, then a physical recce with stills, sun-path notes, access and power assessments for shortlisted sites. In parallel we file the location permissions, palace and temple approvals, park permits and drone authorisations, sequenced so approvals land before your tech recce.
Crew, kit & logistics plan
We assemble the local side: heads of department and crew from Bali and Jakarta's freelance pools, camera and grip rental coordination, generators, picture vehicles, snow and marine assets where the script needs them. Accommodation, transport and catering plans are built around the shooting schedule, priced net per shoot day.
Pre-production on the ground
Tech recces with your DP and first AD, location agreements signed, holding areas and unit bases arranged, weather, snow and tide tables built into the schedule, and the incentive paper trail opened with auditable spend tracking from day one. A bilingual production coordinator becomes your single point of contact.
Shoot support
During principal photography our fixers run locations, permits-on-site, police and authority liaison where required, crowd and road control, daily transport and set catering — with contingency locations and covered standby plans for weather days. Problems are solved at unit level so your AD hears about them in past tense.
Wrap & incentive filing
We close location agreements and make-goods, reconcile the production account against budget, and compile the audited in-country spend documentation any incentive claim requires. Final deliverable: a clean cost report and an incentive file ready for submission, plus everything archived for your production accountant.
What is included in film production support — in detail.
上のまとめは1枚のカードに収まる内容です。各項目が運用上で実際に何を意味するかを以下に示します。パートナーは再販する前に、ネットレートが何を買うのかを知る権利があるからです。
Location scouting and securing
Location scouting and securing — produced, not just booked. Our event side works from written run sheets, named supplier contracts and site visits, so the creative ambition is matched by load-in schedules, power plans and backup options. Suppliers are drawn from a vetted bench we use repeatedly, which is what gives us leverage on both price and performance when your client's date is on the line. It is itemised on the quotation, so you can show clients exactly what their rate buys.
Permit and government liaison
Permit and government liaison — produced, not just booked. Our event side works from written run sheets, named supplier contracts and site visits, so the creative ambition is matched by load-in schedules, power plans and backup options. Suppliers are drawn from a vetted bench we use repeatedly, which is what gives us leverage on both price and performance when your client's date is on the line. Partners can request the underlying detail — supplier names, specifications, timings — at any point.
Local crew, fixers and equipment
Local crew, fixers and equipment — included in the net rate and operated under the same standards as every other element of film production support: licensed suppliers, written confirmations, a named coordinator and the 24/7 desk behind it. We treat the quiet line items with the same care as the headline ones, because programs are judged by the day that goes wrong, and any element can be that day. If a file does not need it, we say so and quote without it; nothing is padded in.
Transport and accommodation logistics
Transport and accommodation logistics — run on GPS-tracked, insured vehicles from our own fleet and contracted operators, with English-speaking driver-guides briefed on the specific movement rather than handed an address. Flight numbers and fast-boat schedules are tracked against delays, pickup times are reconfirmed the evening before, and dispatch holds standby cover on event and arrival days. The logistics layer is where multi-island Indonesia programs usually fray; ours is run as a discipline. The operations desk owns delivery on this line, with a named coordinator accountable for it.
Talent and extras coordination
Talent and extras coordination — included in the net rate and operated under the same standards as every other element of film production support: licensed suppliers, written confirmations, a named coordinator and the 24/7 desk behind it. We treat the quiet line items with the same care as the headline ones, because programs are judged by the day that goes wrong, and any element can be that day. It is covered by the same 24/7 support and incident process as every other element.
Customs and gear carnet support
Customs and gear carnet support — part of the paperwork discipline that makes a B2B file run clean. Documents are issued accurately and on time, in your branding where the service is white-label, with net rates that hold from quotation to final invoice. Reconciliation at the end of the file matches what was quoted, what was delivered and what was invoiced — and discrepancies are ours to resolve, not yours to chase. Documentation for this element travels in the client pack, in plain language, before departure.
Two practical notes on reading this list. First, it is a floor, not a ceiling: requirements that fall outside it — an unusual language, a tighter timing, a compliance document your market demands — are quoted as named lines rather than refused, and the answer to "can you also" is usually yes with a price attached. Second, every line above is auditable: registered partners can request the supplier contracts, licence copies and specification sheets that sit behind any element of film production support, because reselling a service you cannot verify is a risk no agent should be asked to carry.
Where we run film production support in Indonesia.
サービスラインはその足場となる現場次第です。都市ごとに、これが実際にどう運営されるか — ゲートウェイ、季節、そして提供を形づくる現地のロジックを示します。
Film production support in Ubud
Bali’s cultural heart — rice-terrace valleys, temples, yoga and the island’s finest resorts. It is one of the proven home grounds for film production support on the Explera network. Ubud carries the deepest event infrastructure in Indonesia — Nusa Dua's BNDCC, clifftop and beachfront gala venues, production suppliers and the incentive experiences no rival matches. That density is what lets us hold load-in schedules and replace a failed supplier the same day, and DPS gives delegate flows the lift capacity large programs demand. Delegate and guest flows arrive via DPS Bali Ngurah Rai — 90 min, where we run name-board meet-and-greet, luggage marshalling and staggered vehicle waves sized to the manifest. Site inspections here can be arranged within days, hosted by the same team that will run the program.
Film production support in Uluwatu & the Bukit
Dramatic clifftop temples, world-class surf and the island’s most spectacular resorts. For film production support, it is a market we operate week in, week out — not an occasional request. Uluwatu & the Bukit carries the deepest event infrastructure in Indonesia — Nusa Dua's BNDCC, clifftop and beachfront gala venues, production suppliers and the incentive experiences no rival matches. That density is what lets us hold load-in schedules and replace a failed supplier the same day, and DPS gives delegate flows the lift capacity large programs demand. Delegate and guest flows arrive via DPS Bali — 45 min, where we run name-board meet-and-greet, luggage marshalling and staggered vehicle waves sized to the manifest. Local supplier contracts carry our standard penalty and replacement clauses, protecting your delivery dates.
Film production support in Mt Bromo
Java’s most spectacular sunrise — a smoking volcano in a sea of sand. Our Mt Bromo team handles film production support as core daily business, with the local relationships to show for it. Mt Bromo brings Jakarta's convention capacity together with the cultural gala settings of Yogyakarta's temples within a short flight — a plenary one morning, a Borobudur-area heritage evening the next. We run the local supplier layer through a bench we know personally, with CGK handling the bulk of delegate arrivals. Delegate and guest flows arrive via Via Surabaya/Malang — 3–4 h, where we run name-board meet-and-greet, luggage marshalling and staggered vehicle waves sized to the manifest. Run sheets for this destination build in local load-in rules, noise curfews and licensing hours.
Film production support in Labuan Bajo
The gateway to Komodo — dragons, pink beaches and liveaboard diving. Demand for film production support here is strong across the season, and our local bench is sized for it. Labuan Bajo is chosen for setting: a phinisi-fleet incentive through Komodo, a Padar sunrise, a beach gala on a pink-sand bay that reads beautifully on camera. Infrastructure is thinner than the metros, so we bring key production elements in and lock boats and permits well in advance — the payoff is a program no ballroom can replicate. Delegate and guest flows arrive via LBJ Komodo Airport, where we run name-board meet-and-greet, luggage marshalling and staggered vehicle waves sized to the manifest. Our bilingual event managers bridge your client's production team and the venue's Indonesian operations staff.
These 4 bases are where film production support runs at full operational depth — resident teams, contracted suppliers and daily movements. But the map does not stop at the labels above: the same desk quotes and operates this service anywhere in Indonesia a partner needs it, from secondary provinces to multi-region circuits, drawing on the regional office nearest the action. If your client's brief names a destination you do not see here, send it anyway — the answer is usually yes, with a costed plan attached.
季節性は、パートナーが押さえておくべき計画の軸です。乾季（おおむね4月〜10月）はオールラウンドな時期 — 暖かく晴れた日、穏やかな海、最高のダイビングとビーチのコンディション — で、ヨーロッパの夏と学校休暇により7〜8月にピークを迎え、年末にも再び盛り上がります。雨季（11月〜3月）は蒸し暑い午後に短いスコールが降り、緑豊かな景観と低めの料金で、12〜1月に年末の山があります。要求の高い屋外・水上の要素は、より穏やかな乾季の時間帯と涼しい朝に組み、雨季の日には雨への柔軟性を持たせるため、どの季節でも催行可能に保てます。
現地の風景 — 何が待っているか。
Our operating standards for film production support.
基準は具体的でなければ実体を持ちません。これは、このサービスラインのすべての案件で自らに課している管理項目 — 誰が見ていようといまいと実施されるチェックです。
Licensed coordination
Foreign shoots run with proper local coordination and every required location permit in place — we do not operate grey-zone shoots. It protects the footage: improperly permitted material can be challenged at export and in distribution.
Vetted crew bench
Local HoDs and crew come from a bench with verified credits; key positions are referenced from previous productions before we attach them. Rates are agreed on industry-standard deal memos, in writing, before the tech recce.
Insured kit & vehicles
Rental houses and transport providers must evidence equipment insurance and public liability; picture vehicles and unit drivers are licensed and rest-houred, with winter-rated drivers on snow-country legs. Marine units add vessel licences, certified skippers and safety crew as standard.
Drone & airspace compliance
UAV work flies only with Ministry of Land registration, licensed operators and site-specific permissions — controlled airspace, parks and crowds all have their own rules. A grounded drone day is recoverable; a confiscated one is not.
Set safety & welfare
Heat and cold protocols, hydration, medic thresholds for stunts and water or snow work, and honest turnaround times. Catering follows food-safety practice with crew dietary lines manifested like any group file.
Auditable spend trail
Every rupiah of in-country spend is documented to audit standard from day one — proper tax invoices, contracted suppliers, traceable payments. Productions that start this on wrap day lose incentive value; ours start it at prep.
これらの基準はマーケティングの飾りではなく、パートナーに検証していただくための監査ポイントです。ライセンスの写し、保険証書、視察記録を求めてください。デスク経由でミステリー予約を送り、返ってきたものを採点してください。インドネシアの他所で痛い目に遭った事業者は、最初のシーズンには最も厳しい監査役となり、その後はどのシーズンも最も長く続くパートナーになる傾向があります。精査に耐える基準こそ、印刷する価値のある唯一の基準だからです。自らの基準に届かないとき — それは起こります、これは現実の国における現実のオペレーションです — インシデントノートはそれを率直に記し、是正は同じページに記録されます。
Who books film production support — and how to sell it.
4つの顧客プロファイルが、このラインで見られる需要の大半を占めます。貴社の顧客にいずれかが含まれるなら、このサービスは貴社のインドネシア提案に居場所があります。
International features & streaming series
The marquee files: multi-week shoots with hundreds of hotel nights and full local crew complements. Indonesia sells on range — Bali's skylines, Yogyakarta's heritage, Java's mountains, the ski slopes and Komodo's volcanic coast within short hops — plus crew depth built by the global rise of K-content and decades of domestic and foreign production. These need the longest lead times and reward them with the deepest local support.
Commercials & branded content
The volume business: three-to-seven-day shoots for agencies and production companies who need permits fast, a reliable fixer and predictable costs. Indonesia's light, locations and crew discipline make it a prized commercial destination. We quote per shoot day, move quickly on permits for non-sensitive locations, and keep contingency options warm because agency schedules never hold still.
Documentary & factual crews
Small crews, long access lists: documentaries need permissions more than infrastructure — palaces, temples, communities, parks, experts and translators. Our value is the relationship layer: knowing who actually grants access and how to ask. Visa class and permit correctness matter doubly here because crews are small enough to be turned back at a checkpoint.
Stills, fashion & content production
Fashion editorials, brand campaigns and high-end content shoots run lighter — a fixer, locations, permits where needed, vans and a good production assistant bench. Cherry blossom, autumn foliage, neon streets and snow country shoot to the season. These files often convert from our luxury and FIT clientele, and they book on speed: a complete production package quoted within days.
If your client book does not map neatly onto any profile above, send the brief anyway — the four segments describe the centre of the demand we see, not its edges. The desk quotes film production support for niches these cards do not name every week, and an unusual file gets the same 24-hour response discipline as a standard one. The commercial logic for partners is consistent across all of them: net rates that leave your margin yours, white-label delivery that keeps the client relationship yours, and an operations layer in Indonesia that makes the promise you sold survivable in practice.
Film production support pricing — what drives the quote.
価格の仕組みを公開しているのは、当て推量が全員の時間を無駄にするからです。このサービスで金額を動かす要因と、ネットレートに含まれるもの・含まれないものを示します。
Film budgets price per shoot day plus prep and wrap, and the drivers are crew complement, kit list, locations and movement. A Bali-based commercial with local crew is a different cost universe from a multi-region drama with company moves — each move costs a day of trucks, fuel and reassembly. Location fees range from modest public-space permits to serious palace, station and national-park rates; snow and marine days add specialist vehicles, safety crew and weather margin. We quote a line-item production budget, not a day-rate guess.
Seasonality in film is weather, light and availability. Cherry blossom and autumn foliage are short, in-demand windows that lift hotel and location premiums and compete hard for crew; winter delivers snow country but short daylight; summer is hot and humid with a rainy spell. Crew rates hold fairly stable year-round; it is hotels, flights and the seasonal locations that move with the calendar. We schedule around the light and the season the script actually needs.
Our production quotes are net: local crew on deal-memo rates, kit at rental-house net prices, locations at negotiated fees, hotels and transport at our DMC contract rates — with our production-services fee a visible line. Excluded unless specified: international shipping and carnets for your own kit, cast and above-the-line costs, and incentive-application disbursements, quoted separately. Payment runs on a production float schedule — prep deposit, weekly or milestone drawdowns against cost reports, wrap balance — in IDR or USD, fully receipted for your accountant and any incentive audit.
To turn these principles into a live number, send the dates, party size and the shape of the file — the quotation that returns within one business day is itemised against everything described above, valid for a stated window, and rate-locked the moment you confirm. Registered partners receive the current seasonal rate guidance for film production support as a matter of course, including the surcharge calendar for the July–August and year-end peaks, so annual budgeting can start from real numbers rather than last year's hopes. And where a budget and a brief genuinely cannot meet, we say so on the first pass — with the closest workable alternative costed alongside, because a fast honest no is worth more to a working agent than a slow optimistic maybe.
Film production support — trade terms, quick reference.
この業種で絶えず登場する5つの用語を、当社が見積もりや契約で使う意味のとおりに定義します。
Fixer
The local production specialist who unlocks locations, permits, crew and problems on the ground. In Indonesia the role works alongside a licensed local production coordinator and the regional film commissions.
Film commission
A national or regional body supporting productions with location introductions, liaison and sometimes funding. Indonesia's network spans the Indonesia Film Council and city and provincial commissions we work with directly.
Tech recce
The technical location survey with HoDs before the shoot — camera positions, power, access, sun path and safety — that turns a scouted location into a shootable one.
Company move
Relocating the entire production unit between locations or regions mid-schedule. Each move costs transport, time and reassembly, and is budgeted as its own line.
Cover set
An interior or weather-protected location held in reserve so shooting continues when weather takes the planned exterior. Essential schedule insurance, especially in snow and rainy seasons.

How long does a Indonesia filming permit take?
It depends entirely on the location. A commercial on private property or a studio can move in days; public-space, station and temple permits take one to several weeks; national-park and sensitive-location permissions take longest and cannot be rushed. The reliable rule is to open the permit track the week the project greenlights, not the week before travel. We map the lead times per location at feasibility stage so the schedule is built on real dates.
Does Indonesia offer financial incentives for foreign productions?
Support exists but varies. The Indonesia Film Council and regional film commissions provide location introductions, liaison and logistical help; some cities and provinces offer location-support or production-incentive funding for qualifying shoots, with conditions on spend, local hiring and local benefit. Terms change and differ by region, so we confirm what is currently available for your specific locations and budget at feasibility stage, and prepare any application as part of the service.
Can we bring our own camera gear into Indonesia?
Yes, on temporary-import documentation — ATA Carnet where applicable, or bonded temporary import — reconciled against a serialised kit list at both borders. We coordinate the broker, the carnet check and the shooting schedule so clearance lands before your prep days. Renting bodies, lenses and grip locally is often smarter for shorter shoots: Bali rental houses carry current Arri, Sony and RED inventory at competitive rates.
How deep is the local crew pool?
Bali and Jakarta support strong professional crew markets, deepened by the global rise of K-content: experienced ADs, gaffers, grips, art department and production accountants, many with international credits and working bilingually. Full local crews for features and series are routine; parallel units are achievable with planning. Outside the metros, core crew travels with the production and local hands fill out the complement — we budget accommodation and travel accordingly.
Can you arrange filming at palaces, temples and in national parks?
Yes, each with its own permission layer. Palaces and temples require the institution's approval and strict conduct rules on heritage ground; national parks require park-authority permits with fees and sometimes ranger escorts; stations and transport need operator agreements. Some sites are simply unavailable for certain content, and we say so early. Allow extra lead time — these permissions move at their own pace and cannot be bought faster.
What visa do foreign crew need?
Crew on paid foreign productions need the correct visa class with work authorisation for filming — arranged ahead, not improvised on tourist entries. Requirements differ for shoots of different lengths and roles, and the rules are applied for real at immigration. We prepare the document set per crew member as part of production planning; it is routine when handled early and a shoot-stopper when skipped.
