PEOPLE WHO
MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Kane House Films provides production support for film, television and commercial projects across Alaska, helping productions bring ambitious ideas to life.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE.
PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE.
READY FOR THE REAL WORLD.
Every production brings its own challenges, and working in Alaska is no exception. Kane House Films combines local knowledge with hands-on production experience to support film, television and commercial projects from preparation through to the shoot.
From crew and equipment to permits, logistics, locations and the practical details in between, the focus is simple: giving productions the support they need to arrive prepared, stay moving and get the work done.
Pre-Production
Every successful shoot starts with solid preparation. From storyboarding and scheduling to location scouting, the details are mapped out before cameras roll.
Production
From first call to final take, production is kept moving with experienced on-set support, practical coordination and attention to every moving part.
Crew
The right people make all the difference. Experienced camera, sound, lighting and production professionals can be brought together to suit each project.
Equipment
Cameras, lenses, lighting, sound and supporting gear are sourced around the needs of the shoot, giving each production the tools to deliver its vision.
Permits
Filming permissions and local requirements can be complex. Permits are coordinated with the relevant authorities to keep production moving legally and efficiently.
Casting
Finding the right faces is part of bringing a story to life. Casting support connects productions with talent suited to the creative needs of the project.
Accommodation
From crew to talent, suitable accommodation is coordinated around the production schedule, location and practical requirements of the team on the ground.
Insurance
Production comes with moving parts and real-world risks. Insurance requirements are coordinated to keep the people, equipment and project appropriately covered.
Payroll
Crew and talent payroll is managed with the practical details taken care of, keeping payments organised, on time and aligned with applicable requirements.

PLANNING A PRODUCTION IN ALASKA?
From permits and logistics to locations, weather and remote access, filming in Alaska comes with unique considerations. Here are answers to some common questions when planning a production in the state.
Alaska offers extraordinary locations, but its scale, weather, changing daylight and remote environments can make production planning more complex. Location access, transport, crew, equipment, accommodation and safety should all be considered early. Local knowledge can help turn those practical challenges into a production plan that works on the ground.
Permit requirements depend on where and how you plan to film. Public land, protected areas, private property and other managed locations may each have different requirements and permissions. Identifying locations early gives productions time to establish what approvals are needed before the shoot begins.
Yes, but Alaska is part of the United States, so international cast and crew are subject to applicable US entry and immigration requirements. Requirements can vary depending on nationality, role and the nature of the production, so they should be confirmed well before travel.
Drone filming is possible, but operations are subject to US aviation regulations as well as location-specific restrictions and permissions. Protected areas and certain managed locations can have additional limitations, so drone requirements should be considered during pre-production rather than once the crew is already on location.
Alaska offers an unusually diverse range of natural environments, including mountains, glaciers, fjords, forests, tundra, coastline and Arctic landscapes. Locations around Anchorage and Southcentral Alaska can provide access to both production infrastructure and dramatic wilderness, while more remote regions require additional logistical planning.
Kane House Films provides hands-on production support from early preparation through to the shoot. Our services include pre-production, production support, crew, equipment, permits, casting, accommodation, insurance, payroll, logistics and safety, helping productions manage the practical details involved in bringing a project together in Alaska.
The earlier, the better. The amount of preparation required depends on the locations, scale and requirements of the production, particularly where permits, remote access, specialist logistics or challenging conditions are involved. Starting early allows those elements to be addressed before they begin affecting the production schedule.
