Taranaki is one of the most diverse filming landscapes in Aotearoa. Mountains, rugged coastline, farmland, heritage towns, river systems and untouched bush. All within reach. But filming here isn’t just about scenery; it’s about knowing how to navigate the region, especially when you’re shooting on Mt Taranaki.

Druce acts as your local Taranaki film fixer, connecting production teams with trusted local crew, accommodation, transport, gear suppliers, prop houses and specialist trades. We manage the relationships that matter. We handle council permitting, iwi consultation, DOC approvals, track access, cultural guidance and community engagement. Supporting film, TV and commercial productions across the region.

Whether you’re bringing a full drama crew or a tiny documentary team, we smooth the path, anticipate the logistics and make sure your shoot is welcomed, supported and properly looked after. We work alongside Venture Taranaki, the regional Film Office, to help productions navigate permits, locations and local services with ease.
