THE KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA

A land full of wonder

Nestled between Thailand and Vietnam, Cambodia is home to a vast legacy of cultural richness, cultivated over centuries of history. After enduring decades of border disputes and more recent French colonization, the independant Kingdom of Cambodia is steadfast on maintaining its identity and land. This resilient, fighting spirit has never been more present than in recent years in which Cambodians overcame the traumas of the Khmer Rouge era in order to re-emerge on the international stage. Few realize that at its height of power, long before the rise of neighboring Thailand and while the west was still in the dark ages, the original Khmer Empire covered most of present-day Southeast Asia. Its cultural hegemony spread across the region; from dance and architecture to music and sports. To this day, the Khmer Kingdom still holds many mysteries, but one thing is for certain; Cambodia, with its spellbinding wonders and enticing landscapes, surpasses all expectations. Cambodia is the land of the Kingdom Of Wonder and we welcome you to see why Mekong Movie will be your top choice for all your film production needs.

MOST RECENT PROJECT

The Bureau

“Le Bureau des legendes” is perhaps the most watched spy thriller series in France (akin to “Homeland” in the United States). Following a scouting trip with Mekong Movie Productions, the Canal+ team decided to re-write the script so that its scenes would take place in Cambodia instead of their initial setting. The film shoot itself proved them right in their decision and the fifth season of the saga aired in 2020.

FILMING IN CAMBODIA

LOCATIONS

Uniques Backdrops

For a small country, Cambodia boasts some of the most beautifully diverse landcapes anywhere in the world. From the famed 12th century Angkor Wat with larger-than-life peaks and long stone corridors of intricate carvings to the pristine beaches, floating markets, buzzing cities and sparkling waterfalls hidden in the lush, green jungles to the expansive rice paddies and the coastal, mist covered mountains, let our location scouts capture your imagination.

GEAR & TEAM

Meeting all technical needs

Mekong Movies is proud to have taken the proper time to form our teams and source equipment, supporting serious film shoots of all sizes. Our experience in the Southeast Asian region, and particularly Cambodia, ensures that you have the right professionals to work with, as well as every piece of gear in your list.

WARDROBE & ART

Craftsmen & Builders

The Khmer people are world-renowned craftsmen. After all, Angkor Wat did not build itself. Allow Mekong Movie to give you access to artisans and experts in an array of trades, from silk weaving, woodworking, ironworking and more to build wardrobes, sets and whatever you may need that are sure to suit even the most discerning of tastes.

TALENT

Various Extras & Comedians

A few years ago, American actress and humanitarian, Angelina Jolie lent her talents to critically acclaimed portrait photographer, Annie Leibovitz for a Louis Vuitton campaign shoot in Cambodia. Our team was tasked with a series of interviews, while only a few kilometers away armed conflicts with Thailand were happening. This was an excellent, but rare case of a successful shoot under extremely difficult conditions.

WEATHER & LOGISTICS

Filming in the tropics

Because of its geographical location, Cambodia’s weather is expectedly warm but very pleasant throughout the year. The dry season reaches its peak in April, followed by monsoon season until September, which only consists of very short showers that rarely impair the work. Locations are easily accessed and our experienced crews, drivers and local liaisons are trained to offer you the best.

TRAVEL & AMENITIES

A trip to remember

Visas, customs, shooting permits; you can rest on Mekong Movies to handle all formalities. All that remains is for you to enjoy cushy accommodations and let the country work its spell. Our ultimate wish is that beyond taking your project to new heights, you experience the adventure of a lifetime.
