Mbrella Films
Film Production Company in Cameroon
Cameroon is a country located in Central and West Africa, often referred to as the hinge of Africa, situated on the Bight of Bonny, which is part of the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean. This country offers numerous picturesque locations suitable for film production, regardless of the genre. Whether you are looking for a bustling city like Yaounde or a dense tropical forest like Bansoa, Cameroon can provide the ideal backdrop for your production. Additionally, the country boasts stunning seascapes and beaches in many of its cities. Our local production house, Mbrella Films, can assist you in obtaining the necessary permits and getting your production underway in just 1-2 weeks. As Cameroon does not receive much production traffic, the process may take a little longer.
