Filming Locations in Macao

Most film productions that come to Macao will have an idea of what they expect based on the available locations. Most of them will contain a scene of an old Chinese neighborhood or a Macao casino vibe. On the other hand, with the way the city was built and planned, it’s very well set up to stand in as a replacement for futuristic architecture. In retrospect, it really doesn’t matter what type or genre film you have in pre-production. Mbrella Films, a top film production company here in Macao, will help you scout all options possible for your production. Continue reading to see some spots we’ve already pre-scouted for you.
