Military Location Liaison Services

Supporting Film & TV Productions Across Defence Locations

Filming on the UK Defence Estate provides access to some of the most striking and authentic backdrops in the country - from active airfields and training areas to historic barracks, bunkers, and military landscapes. These locations bring realism and scale to film and TV productions, but working within them requires careful planning, compliance, and close liaison with the Ministry of Defence (MOD)

At Frontline Film Advisors, we specialise in supporting production companies and location managers through every stage of filming on MOD land. As experienced intermediaries between the screen industry and Defence Estates staff, we help you secure access, manage permissions, and ensure your production is delivered safely, efficiently, and in full alignment with Defence requirements.

Our Role

Frontline Film Advisors bridges the gap between creative ambition and operational reality. We work directly with the MOD and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) to streamline communication, secure filming permissions, and coordinate logistics on MOD property.

From your first MOD filming enquiry to final wrap, we guide you through each step of the process - helping you unlock unique locations while maintaining compliance with all Defence protocols and security measures.

How We Support You

Early Engagement: We help identify suitable MOD filming locations across the UK Defence Estate, advising on feasibility, site availability, and access requirements at the earliest planning stage.
Permissions and Coordination: We handle all liaison with Defence Estates and MOD staff, managing permissions, risk assessments, and documentation to ensure full compliance.
On-Site Support: During filming, we coordinate directly with estate managers, security teams, and production crews to keep operations safe, efficient, and disruption-free.
Aftercare and Legacy: Following production, we oversee site restoration, facilitate debriefs, and support positive long-term relationships between the screen sector and Defence stakeholders.

Why Work With Frontline Film Advisors

Our unique experience across both Defence and the screen industries gives us a clear understanding of the challenges and opportunities that come with filming on military land. We anticipate issues before they arise, streamline communications with MOD and DIO staff, and enable productions to work confidently within secure environments.

Whether you’re looking to film on an MOD airfield, a historic garrison, or within a training estate, Frontline Film Advisors ensures your project is delivered safely, responsibly, and creatively.

We make UK Defence locations accessible for film and television - bridging the gap between Defence operations and cinematic storytelling.
