Rio de Janeiro
Where to shoot in Rio?
Scape the obvious. Or don't.
Rio de Janeiro delivers both the instantly recognizable and the wonderfully undiscovered. Yes, you can lean into those world-famous backdrops that scream "Rio" to global audiences. Or you can venture beyond the obvious to uncover raw, cinematic textures that few productions tap into.
Rio offers the complete package: top-tier local crews, reliable equipment rentals, and locations ranging from the spectacular to the secret. Whether you want that perfect postcard shot or something more unexpected, we'll help you find the right locations to match your creative vision – without the usual guesswork.

Houses and villas in or close to Rio:
While Rio’s iconic beaches and landmarks rightfully dominate screen time, some of the region’s most striking locations lie just beyond the city. A short drive north brings you to Búzios’ rugged coastline, where windswept cliffs meet secluded coves—perfect for projects needing that untouched coastal drama. Further along, Cabo Frio’s endless white dunes and turquoise lagoins offer surreal landscapes that feel worlds away from the urban energy of Rio. These lesser-known gems deliver the same breathtaking beauty without the crowds or permit challenges of more famous spots. Whether you’re chasing desert-like dunes, dramatic rock formations, or pristine beaches, the areas surrounding Rio provide stunning alternatives when you want spectacular scenery without the usual clichés.

Filming in the Favelas
Some of our clients have asked us to film in the favelas of Rio and about its safety. We have worked in the favela before and can guide you through this process. To understand more about it, check out our Case Study.
