Identical Media is the leading line production company for international film and television productions in the Indian Ocean region. We manage every operational element of your shoot so your creative team can focus entirely on the work.

What Is Line Production?
Line production covers everything below the line in your production budget. It is the operational backbone of your shoot. A line producer manages the physical production from pre-production through to wrap, controlling costs, coordinating departments, and solving problems before they affect your schedule.
For international productions arriving in the Indian Ocean, line production means having a trusted local partner who understands the region, has existing relationships with suppliers and authorities, and can deliver a smooth, cost-efficient shoot regardless of the island or environment.

Working Across the Indian Ocean
We operate regularly across Mauritius, Seychelles, Madagascar, Réunion Island, and the Maldives. Each territory has its own permitting requirements, local crew availability, and logistical considerations. Our teams on each island mean you have a consistent production standard wherever you shoot.
Mauritius is our primary base, with a fully staffed production office, established supplier relationships, and deep experience managing international TVC, fashion, documentary, natural history, and feature productions. From Port Louis to remote southern beaches, we know the territory.
In Seychelles we manage productions across Mahé, Praslin, La Digue, and outer islands including Denis, Alphonse, and Desroches. Marine, wildlife, and luxury brand productions are our speciality there.
Madagascar offers one of the most biodiverse filming environments in the world. We coordinate access to reserves, national parks, and remote coastal locations, handling all government liaison and specialist logistics.
Why International Productions Choose Identical Media
Productions arrive from the UK, USA, France, Germany, South Africa, and the Gulf. What they need is a line production partner who understands their workflow, communicates in their language, and delivers at international standards. That is what we provide.
We have managed shoots for broadcasters including BBC, National Geographic, and Canal+, for leading TVC production companies servicing global brands, and for fashion and editorial clients who require precision and discretion. Our production management infrastructure means we can scale from a two-person crew to a 60-person multi-location production.
Film Incentives and Cost Efficiency
Mauritius offers a 30% to 40% cash rebate on qualifying production expenditure through the Mauritius Film Rebate Scheme: up to 40% for feature films (minimum USD 1 million QPE) and high-end TV drama (minimum USD 150,000 per episode), and 30% for other eligible formats including TV commercials. We guide productions through the application process and help structure budgets to maximise qualifying spend.
