"As winter arrives in the northern hemisphere, the team at Etna Productions is thrilled to see autumn/winter campaigns worked on in the past and current season come to life. These include campaigns for Chantelle Paris, Chantal Thomas Paris, MOHITO, Marie Jo and a collaboration between MR PORTER and IWC Schaffhausen Watches.

Etna Productions is particularly proud to see the many projects shot in one of our favourite locations; Mount Etna Volcano. Etna represents an island within an island of Sicily. It has a range of different environments characterized by strong contrasts in landscapes. The geographical scenery of Mount Etna and the surrounding city of Catania provide a natural set for film and photo shoots thanks to the streets, village squares, the ocean and beaches.

Etna Productions provides local production services that enable visiting production teams to shoot on Mount Etna volcano, without the worry of any challenges that the local terrain may present. Etna Productions takes great pride in its knowledge and experience shooting in all of Sicily's diverse conditions.

As we work towards the end of 2019, Etna Productions looks forward to more projects in 2020. Handling different aspects of the film production process; from financing and co-production advice, cost containment, budgeting and scheduling, and providing expertise in selecting appropriate locations.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch to find out more about working with us on this truly special island."
