Documentary & NGO Video Production in Vietnam
Documentary filmmaking and local production support for NGOs, broadcasters, foundations and international organisations working across Vietnam.
We produce documentary and NGO videos for international organisations, broadcasters, production companies, foundations and agencies filming in Vietnam.
Our team can manage the complete production, or support your existing director, producer or camera crew with research, local fixers, interpreters, locations, permits, equipment and logistics.
Based in Ho Chi Minh City, we coordinate documentary productions in Hanoi, Da Nang and urban or rural locations throughout Vietnam.

Each production is planned around the subject, local context, intended audience and required deliverables.
Documentary productions often require detailed research, trusted local contacts and access to communities, organisations or remote locations.
Our fixers and producers can assist with story research, contributor sourcing, location scouting, scheduling, interview coordination and communication with local authorities or organisations.
We can also arrange transport, accommodation, local guides and production support for filming in rural or difficult-to-access areas.
We regularly film interviews with community members, project beneficiaries, local organisations, experts and institutional representatives.
Our team works carefully around sensitive subjects and local cultural expectations, while helping contributors feel comfortable during filming.
Professional interpreters, translators, interview lighting, sound recording and subtitles can be arranged when required.
For smaller NGO stories or interviews, we can provide one experienced videographer with a professional camera, sound and lighting kit.
For larger documentary productions, we can assemble a complete local team, and we recommend the crew and equipment according to the locations, schedule, subject and production requirements.

International documentary crews may require official filming authorisation, a press visa or production approval through the relevant Vietnamese authorities.
We can advise your team on the required process and coordinate filming schedules, crew documents and communication with the Vietnam Film Department or Foreign Press Center when necessary.
Drone filming requires a separate permit, which can be coordinated once the production authorisation, locations and flight details are confirmed.
Our team can arrange local crew, transportation, accommodation, interpreters, filming access and logistics for productions involving several cities or provinces.
