Film Production Services
With a multitude of services, the Films.Solutions team supports you in the production of your films, documentaries, television series and advertising in Canada. We provide shooting locations, production crews, equipment rental, hotel and accommodation, transfers transports and vehicles for the crew and actors.
Film Fixers | Production Managers
Our friendly and efficient Film Fixers and Production Managers will be the backbone of your production. From planning and pre-production, to production to post, we are first in and last out and handle everything in between while remaining calm under pressure. We are based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada but we also offer film fixing services throughout Canada from the Maritime Provinces to the Yukon and as far north as Nunavut.
Canadian Film Locations
Finding the ideal location for films and documentaries in Canada is a passion project for us. We are always on the lookout for amazing locations and we’re currently working on building a database of all the locations we’ve vetted. Although we have locations from the East to the West, we specialize in locations based in Quebec and outside of Montreal.
Tell us about your idea and vision for the storyline. We’ll create a short list of ideal locations that are adapted to your budget. We can then help plan for transportation with our own vehicles or, if need be, we’ll book a fleet through our preferred partners.
Crews
Our film crew has worked together for a long time. Together, we have filmed, coast to coast, in the toughest of environments as far North as Nunavut and Yukon, as well as all the way down South to more tropical locations such as Mexico and Cuba.
We love getting out on the road for great location scouting and finding that ideal site for the next shot. We are careful about having the best and only the right film equipment for the job, and making sure every moving part in the production is in alignment with the film’s vision.
Years of experience have taught us that with a positive mindset, each challenge or problem is an opportunity to take things to the next level. We have master communicators, multi-lingual (we speak French, English and Spanish) and known for being friendly and efficient. We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished together as a team and we are eager to see what else is possible!
Art Department
For many years, members of our artistic department have been working in the Canadian film and television community. With artists in set design, set up or accessory management, every visual aspect is taken into account and managed throughout the production. Our design of the sets and accessories begins with the reception of the scenario with an analysis of each scene, as well as discussions with the director so that the credibility of each scene is optimal.
Whether artistic direction or accessory management on the set, we have the resources to carry out your production.
Camera, Lighting & Grip
All our cameras, lights, sound and specialized filmmaking gear is fully insured and our experienced cameramen, lighting and grip technicians are fully trained to use each piece of equipment to its full potential.
Whether you need HD, 4K, 6K, or 8k Cameras, like Red, ARRI and Sony, a professional Camera Drone, Action Cameras such as a GoPro, or specialized Documentary Equipment such as Pelican bags and cases, data wrangling equipment, walkie talkies, sleeves for hot and cold climates, and battery packs, we’ve got you covered.

This unit has access to a database of technicians, shooting locations and companies working in the field of cinema that have resources complementary to that of Films.Solutions. The logistical aspects and the coordination are essential for the success of your productions. We understand this and do it very well.
Hotels & Accommodation
During your next productions in Canada, the Films.Solutions team is able to find you quality accommodation, close to the filming locations. With a large choice of hotels in the major centers, this choice is not obvious outside the big cities and considering the great distances in Canada, our experience of shooting in region becomes essential.
