Wales is our backlot

Local knowledge. Extraordinary access.

Black Mountain Films is based near Abergavenny, between the Black Mountains and Bannau Brycheiniog.

Our local knowledge and growing network of property owners, estates, venues and location partners allow us to find places that are not always visible through conventional location libraries.

Whether you need one exceptional interior or several contrasting landscapes across Wales, we can source the location and manage everything required to film there.

Across Wales

One country. Endless possibilities.

Within a relatively compact country, Wales can offer dramatic mountains, open coastline, historic towns, castles, forests, industrial landscapes and contemporary city architecture.

Black Mountain Films can build a location package around the creative brief, then manage the permissions, logistics, crew and production requirements needed to make the shoot possible.

From west coast to capital.

  • Aberystwyth and its seafront
  • Eryri (Snowdonia)
  • St Davids and the Pembrokeshire coast
  • Bannau Brycheiniog
  • The Gower Peninsula
  • Cardiff and its civic architecture
  • The South Wales Valleys
  • Historic castles and coastal landscapes
