Mbrella Films
Film Production Company in Kenya
Ranging from the wildlife and African vibes of many national parks to the coast of beaches, Kenya might be the place where numerous natural sceneries come together in one place. Experience the wildlife including elephants, zebras, lions, and many more you can capture in the country. Also, the traditional local life in many parts of Kenya is worth looking for once you visit. Not many blockbuster-tier film productions were shot here, making the permitting process might take longer than others. Planning time ahead of 2–3 weeks is better for our team to get it done and ready for your production to take off the ground.
With our in-house production at Mbrella Films, we can provide you with English-speaking producers who will work side by side with you during the whole production process. They’ve got the film board’s approval and are also familiar with working internationally with local crew members. They can ensure that your film production would go through untroubled in Kenya.
