There is a serious pull for true crime documentaries and if you like it we've got great news for you: Unsolved Mysteries is getting a reboot. And we have reason to believe that it's going to be pretty dang quality!
Thanks to our great Fixer Cleophée, We provided a full production service for Netflix USA.
The US team came with a producer, a director, and DOP and his assistant. We provided the rest of the 25 person crew. Atlas, the owner of French Production Service worked as a line producer, we called our location managers in Paris, Nantes and South of France to scout houses, appartments, restaurants, shooting range, hotels and more. Our casting director had to find look alike of the entire Xavier Dupont de Ligonnes, and other secondaries actors. Our great art director recreated entine criminal set up for the recreation scenes, This shooting was not a simple documentary it was a docu-fiction. The crew was as big as for a feature film. We called our best key grip, gaffer, assistant camera,production assistant, make up artist, DIT, sound mixer, runners and our amazing drone pilotes.
Our strenght is to provide the right crew to the right project and our goal is to use as much as possible local experienced technicians.
