Southwest Productions is the go-to production service company in Portugal.

Portugal offers fantastic locations, easy access and the ability to “double” as many other countries. From the rugged wilderness of the northeastern corner through the central mountain landscapes and down to the rolling plains of the Alentejo and the cliff-backed beaches of the Algarve, Portugal never ceases to amaze with its astounding variety.

Bordered to the west and the south by a long coastline, Portugal offers some of Europe’s most beautiful beaches - endless open stretches or secluded coves as well as dramatic coastal cliffs rising above the foaming Atlantic.

The country is dotted with little towns and villages and its major cities mix history and tradition with the new and ultra-modern.

Here, the film season never ends - Portugal has one of Europe’s mildest and sunniest climates and the country’s location at the southwestern edge of the continent gives the light here a quality all its own.

Beaches, mountains, small towns and urban areas - it has it all, and Southwest Productions is here to assure clients take full advantage of all Portugal has to offer.

Southwest Productions, excellence in productions services for over 20 years.

"Southwest Productions meets the needs of directors and photographers looking to have vehicles in the driver’s seat of their narratives in Portugal and Spain.

We helped Niall Downing shoot a race between a jockey and a Toyota, in Serra da Estrela, using a helicopter; Christian Weber photographing eleven motorbikes in seven different locations in only four days for a REV’IT! photo shoot collection; and for a CarMoney film directed by Anders Hallberg we used a Russian Arm and a Low Loader in downtown Lisbon.

We only work with the best and, through our aid, cars, bikes and trucks become the hero of their stories, driving renowned brands ranging from Volkswagen, Bentley and Mercedes to FedEx, REV’IT! and Danone to trust Southwest as their one-stop-shop for all their vehicle-intensive production needs.

Southwest Productions, the excellence in production services."
