Hiring a production coordinator
in the Dominican Republic
Hiring a production coordinator in the Dominican Republic is useful. If you are looking for a local professional who knows everything about the country, get in touch. This individual will also be able to put you into contact with a journalist fixer, for example, should you travel to the Dominican Republic for a documentary. In this Caribbean island paradise, determining the right shooting locations will make your project stand out. Here are a handful of locations to consider for your production.
Santo Domingo
The capital and largest city in the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo is the main hub for culture, art, industry, and tourism in the country. This city of nearly 2.500.000 people is a metropolis on the water shore, offering countless spots for filming. Ask your location scout or production coordinator in the Dominican Republic for advice on where to shoot. Popular places in the capital include the Zona Colonial, the famous Calle Las Damas, the Alcázar de Colón and others.
Lake Enriquillo
Located in the western part of the country close to Haiti, Enriquillo is a hypersaline lake quickly turning into a favourite tourist spot for both local and foreign travellers. You can swim in the lake as well as take part in various water-based activities. In terms of history, recent discoveries revealed a set of pre-Taino indigenous petroglyphs nicknamed “the faces” right by the lake. Ask your production coordinator in the Dominican Republic for advice on where to shoot while at this location.

Isla Catalina
The Dominican Republic has a few smaller islands besides the mainland, which are visited by tourists and cruise lines. One of these islands is Isla Catalina, located 1,5 kilometres away from the shores. Isla Catalina is operated as a private island, which is accessible to travellers by boat. Cruise lines are also making a stop out of the island while navigating through the Caribbean Sea. Hire a journalist fixer if you are interested in finding locals to interview for a documentary about this place.
Isla Saona
The largest adjacent island of the Dominican Republic, Isla Saona is located south of the mainland, offering local experiences to travellers from all over the globe. The population of 500 of the island resides in two villages, and the sandy beaches of the territory are ideal for those looking for an authentic experience. Ask your location scout for advice on where to shoot while on Isla Saona. Popular places on the island include Mano Juan, the Cotubanamá National Park, and the picturesque Bonita Beach.

When in the country, ask your production coordinator in the Dominican Republic, or your location scout for details on where it is right for you to shoot within the protected area.
