Crew Hiring Services

Here is how this works in practice. Building a crew in Peru means tapping a talent pool concentrated in Lima — across Miraflores, Barranco, and San Isidro production offices — and extending up through Cusco, Arequipa, and the Sacred Valley for projects that move into the Andes or the Amazon basin. Our database holds more than a thousand cinematographers, gaffers, key grips, sound mixers, and art-department professionals, many of them trained at PUCP and Universidad de the capital film programs and credited on Tondero Producciones, Big Bang Films, Inca Producciones, and Maretazo Cine projects.

Here is the short of it. The pool includes Peruvian DPs who work with regularly with Inti Briones and Mario Bassino, focus pullers who have worked the high-altitude rigs at 3,400m in Cusco, and Amazon-skilled sound recordists trained on the humidity and ambient-noise challenges of Madre de Dios and Tambopata. Our coordinators handle openings checks, rate deal-making, and contract paperwork in line with Peruvian labor law and ANACTP talent agreements, so department heads arrive on the first call sheet ready to shoot in Spanish, English, and where needed Quechua or Aymara.

Here is the breakdown. Our recruitment process begins with a detailed brief on creative drive, technical specs, and budget envelope, then narrows fast to a shortlist drawn from working relationships built across years of Peruvian sets. We set up payroll through accredited paymasters that satisfy SCTR workplace insurance, IGV invoicing at 18%, and the Ley del Trabajo provisions covering film crew engagements.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Department heads brief at the production office in Lima. We remain on call through the shoot to handle replacements if illness, altitude sickness, or scheduling conflicts emerge — a real concern when units move from sea level the capital to Cusco at 3,400m inside seventy-two hours. Global productions gain from heads of department who have shipped projects to Sundance, Berlinale, and the major Peruvian TV networks, and who can move between a Barranco rooftop, a Sacred Valley terrace, and an Iquitos river boat without losing pace. Qualified candidates are ready inside forty-eight hours for standard positions across Peru.
