Locations and permits
Every card surfaces what a location scout actually needs: best light window, access logistics, permit path and the kind of story the place serves. The AI agent expands any entry into a full shoot-day plan with permit timelines.
Charyn Canyon
Almaty Region
Mile-long red sandstone cathedrals — a natural Western set with deep, sculpted shadows. Drivable canyon floor and stable plateaus for crane and dolly work.
Lake Kaindy
Tian Shan
Submerged spruce forest in glacial turquoise water. Underwater rigs, mist machines and reflective surface shots — ideal for ethereal, dreamlike sequences.
Singing Dunes
Altyn-Emel National Park
Three-kilometre dune ridge against the Aktau mountains. Great for chase scenes, period epics and sci-fi planet stand-ins. Sound design bonus: the dunes literally sing.
Big Almaty Lake
Ile-Alatau National Park
A surreal turquoise alpine basin at 2,500 m. Drive-up access makes it one of the most production-friendly mountain locations in the region.
Bozzhyra & Mangystau
Caspian West
White chalk cliffs, Mars-like valleys and ancient seabeds. Used for sci-fi, post-apocalyptic and biblical-scale landscapes — practically zero set dressing required.
Sary-Arka Steppe
Central Kazakhstan
Endless horizons, dramatic skies and nomadic culture on tap. Long lenses, horseback work and aerial pickups — the definitive Central Asian establishing shot.
Kolsai Lakes
Northern Tian Shan
A staircase of three emerald lakes ringed by spruce forest. Glassy reflections, canoe-mounted shots and mountain backdrops without ever leaving the treeline.
Aral Ship Graveyard
Kyzylorda Region
Rusting trawlers stranded on a cracked seabed — a ready-made post-apocalyptic backlot. A favourite for climate documentaries and dystopian features.
Khan Tengri
Tian Shan border
A 7,010 m marble pyramid that turns crimson at dusk. Heli-lift access, glacier plateaus and IMAX-grade vistas for mountaineering and survival narratives.
Wild Tulip Steppe
Aksu-Zhabagly
Endless wild tulip fields against snow-capped peaks every April. A short, bookable bloom window that delivers unmatched colour for openers and montages.
