SERVICE COMPANY? LET US EXPLAIN!
Although 5LE is dedicated to producing high quality art, we also serve as a service company that assists television shows, film crews, as well as production shoots at various locations in the United States and around the world. We make possible what would be otherwise considered impossible.
Our key goal is to take the fear a way by dealing with all the details that ensure productions don’t fall apart, remain efficient and stay within or below budget. We are here to maximize your production value.

Efficiency
We handle most of the details you shouldn’t be dealing with.
International & Domestic
Local Production Company - (International Only) – We have a network of dozens of companies around the world, who know how to work with your director, DP, and actors. If we shoot in a country where we don’t have a contact, guarantee one of our contacts does. And we’ll do all of the work of vetting to make sure they’re legit.
Visas and Permits – We deal with all of this, and help production through the process of getting whatever’s necessary for the actors, director, DP, producer, etc.
Shipping and Carnets – We’ll get props, camera, wardrobe, whatever, in and out in the correct way. This is something than can easily cause major problems if done badly.
Travel and Hotels – We productions to do this correctly, so we still follow all contractual rules with the actors, director, etc, but it’s the right place, near location, has the right amenities, is production friendly, etc.
Production Logistics - We make sure the only thing our client and director have to worry about is the creative portion we take care of crew hires, pre production books, callsheets, payroll, covid testing, etc..
