Where I Work
Filming Hubs Across Morocco
Ouarzazate
The gateway to the Sahara and home of Morocco's largest studio complexes and desert backlots. Deep working relationships with studio facilities, backlot managers, and the local construction workforce.
Casablanca
Morocco's commercial capital for contemporary and urban shoots: modernist architecture, port infrastructure, and the country's densest supplier base for set dressing and rentals.
Tangier
Mediterranean light, medina labyrinths, and coastal locations doubling for the Levant and southern Europe — with established artisan contacts for period textiles and furniture.
Erfoud
Dune fields, oases, and fossil-rich desert plateaus. Proven experience running self-sufficient art-department camps far from urban supply lines.
