Country Overview
Production support in Seychelles opens the door to a cinematic paradise of over 100 islands scattered across the Indian Ocean. With its powder-white beaches, towering granite rock formations, vibrant coral reefs, and lush jungles, Seychelles offers a dreamlike canvas for filmmakers seeking pure, untouched beauty. Whether you’re shooting a high-end commercial, music video, fashion editorial, or travel feature, Seychelles delivers postcard-perfect visuals with world-class hospitality.
But like many island nations, filming here comes with unique logistical challenges — from inter-island travel to strict environmental regulations. Atlas Film Fixers provides full-service production support in Seychelles, helping you capture the essence of this island nation while managing the complex details behind the scenes.

Whether you’re filming underwater sequences, aerials over turquoise lagoons, or walking shots through Creole villages, our production support in Seychelles ensures every scene runs smoothly, legally, and safely.
