About Us

Welcome to The Red Umbrella, your trusted on-ground production partner for seamless international filming across Southeast Asia. With over a decade of experience in the film industry, we’ve built a reputation for making even the most ambitious shoots feel effortless. Our deep regional expertise, local networks, and commitment to excellence ensure that your creative vision never gets lost in translation.

Founded by passionate film professionals, The Red Umbrella was created to solve one simple but critical problem: helping international production teams feel at home in foreign locations. We understand the challenges of filming abroad — from permits and customs to language barriers and unpredictable logistics. That’s why we’re here: to simplify, support, and supercharge your shoot from pre-production to wrap.

We’re not just fixers — we’re collaborators, problem-solvers, and logistical wizards. Our services include:

• Full-Service Film Fixing
  From location scouting and permits to crew hire and transportation, we take care of everything behind the scenes so you can focus on what matters most: the story.
• Production Logistics
  We manage all the moving parts — equipment importation, talent coordination, accommodations, schedules, and more — with precision and care.
• Location Scouting & Permits
  Need a jungle in Java, a skyscraper in Singapore, or a floating market in Thailand? We know where and how to make it happen, legally and beautifully.
• Local Crew & Equipment Sourcing
  Access our network of experienced, bilingual crew and top-tier equipment rentals across all our regions.
• Cultural & Government Liaison
  Navigating bureaucracy and cultural nuances is our specialty. We bridge the gap to ensure smooth communication with local authorities, communities, and talent.

We specialize in four of Southeast Asia’s most film-friendly locations:

• Indonesia: From Bali’s lush coastlines to Jakarta’s urban sprawl, we know Indonesia inside and out.
• Thailand: A long-standing favorite for international productions, Thailand offers diverse landscapes and generous film incentives.
• Vietnam: With stunning backdrops and a fast-growing film scene, Vietnam is full of untapped cinematic potential.
• Singapore: Efficient, modern, and highly accessible, Singapore is a prime hub for both futuristic and multicultural storytelling.
