Caribbean Production is the first full-service international media production company in the Caribbean region, opening office in Barbados over two decades ago, followed by French St. Martin.

Ellen Hoch-Kramer, a German magazine designer/publisher from Berlin, had started this company with a comprehensive knowledge of the international media industry, and the determination to turn this Caribbean region into a successful location for international photo and film productions.

Hundreds of media productions had been executed for international clients - from high-end fashion designers to airlines, TV commercials, and movies – further information in the Clients section of the website.

An amazing Caribbean location library has grown over the years to present shooting on Caribbean locations for any season - please view the website with comprehensive information and lots of location images.

The Barbados-based management is German, the crew is local and the focus is on international clients for motion pictures and stills with the goal to service and comfort foreign production companies while working on unfamiliar Caribbean island territory. The company's multi-media production services range from consulting, research, estimates, locations and accommodation through to logistics, talent, permits, customs and equipment for video, film and photo shoots.

"Our clients will experience an unmatched work ethic from a team striving for perfection in every aspect of the production - be it a commercial, image film, music video, TV documentary, movie, television show, digital social media content, fashion photography editorial, architectural, resort, aerial drone or underwater shoot.
