Recently this year Colombia wide BMS has supported several production companies with advisory & risk management for documentaries produced in remote, rural and urban areas for major media services such a Netflix.
The BMS advisors advised production teams on risks & threats faced within the local areas and forwarded recommendations on best practices to ensure a risk-mitigated approach to their working activity
Due to the nature of Media, equipment and cameras, and the likelihood of attracting unwanted attention, the provision of media security often requires a different approach to other conventional security practices. BMS advisors often adopted a low profile approach providing back watch and monitoring the surrounding area whilst blending in with the production team.
As in this case study, often international business travelers arrive to the region without prior travel experience or knowledge. BMS advisors ensured a smooth transition arriving from the airport to location of work right up to departure from country meeting clients’ needs & expectations and ultimately putting clients mind at ease.
BMS advisors also supported the production teams logistical operations including the provision of local vetted security trained drivers to transport staff and their specialist equipment.
