Thinking of shooting in Mexico City? We’re your go-to team.
We know Mexico City like it’s our own set. It’s huge, it never stops and traffic can be a beast, but when you’ve got locals like us on your side, finding the perfect spot (and the right people) becomes a whole lot easier. With our production and fixer services in Mexico City, we handle everything from location scouting and casting to permits, camera gear, lighting, crew, DIT and VFX supervision. You bring the concept, we handle the rest, from the first call to the final cut. CDMX is a goldmine for any kind of shoot: fashion films, car spots, food and lifestyle content, docuseries, music videos, you name it. Colonial streets, art deco facades, brutalist concrete and rooftops with volcanoes in the background. Let’s make something unforgettable.

We work in partnership with the main providers in Mexico City
Mexico City is on another level, truly. It’s one of the biggest cities on the planet and one of the most creative: murals, markets, mezcal bars, museums and a food scene that keeps landing on every list. It has it all: the Centro Histórico and the Zócalo, the tree-lined streets of Roma and Condesa, the canals of Xochimilco, Polanco’s luxury, the Anthropology Museum and the pyramids of Teotihuacán less than an hour away. Of course, it also has the crews, the equipment houses and the studios you need. Reliable light most of the year, an altitude that makes the skies pop and a film office used to big international productions. When you know the city, there’s no better place to shoot.
The way we get involved in your production
Mexico City is your track for that car commercial you’ve been dreaming of.
Cars, bikes or motorbikes… they all look amazing on Paseo de la Reforma at dawn, on the Periférico’s elevated lanes, on the mountain road to the Desierto de los Leones or on the straights that lead out towards Puebla and the volcanoes. Whether it’s a hero shot on an empty avenue or a chase through the streets of the Centro, we’ve got solid experience managing safe traffic control, street closures and all the filming protocols with the city’s film commission. Permits, locations and all that paperwork nobody wants to deal with? That’s on us.
01
Mexico City has everything you need for your next fashion campaign. So do we.
Is your campaign going for that editorial, sporty, lifestyle or streetwear look? Mexico City has the perfect setting and at Fonktown we know how to make it shine. We find the right talent so they can do their thing while we nail the perfect shot of your sneaker or your latest collection on the pink walls of Barragán, the rooftops of the Centro, the markets of La Merced or the art deco streets of Condesa. We’ve worked with brands that set global trends, and we know how to move on set so every look lands exactly where it should.
02
Your documentary takes the spotlight, Mexico City sets the scene.
Telling real stories has its own rhythm. Whether it’s a docuseries, an intimate portrait or a socially driven documentary, it all starts with finding the places and people that actually add something to the story. We’ve been walking this city for years. We know which taquería has served the same family for three generations, which lucha libre arena still keeps the old spirit and which street in Tepito or Coyoacán has exactly the atmosphere your story needs. And if we don’t know it, we know who does.
03
Branded Content: your brand story, told with purpose.
Who wouldn’t produce their branded content in Mexico City with a team that already knows the city, who to talk to, where to shoot and has the means to make it happen? Whether you’re creating content for your Reels, TikToks, YouTube videos or any other digital channel, CDMX offers endless aesthetic variety, accessible locations and every kind of infrastructure within a short drive. When you know the ground, shooting fast and shooting well go hand in hand.
04
We will offer you the proper locations in Mexico City and Mexico to carry out your project. We have access to private homes, natural parks, public institutions and buildings to make your project perfect.
Colonial palaces, modernist icons and corners that fit perfectly into any shot. From the Zócalo, the Palacio de Bellas Artes and the Torre Latinoamericana to the canals of Xochimilco, the Casa Azul in Coyoacán, the UNAM campus, Luis Barragán’s houses, the Chapultepec forest, the markets of La Merced or the pyramids of Teotihuacán, the capital offers options for every kind of campaign. And if you venture a little further, the map opens up to the volcanoes, the colonial towns of Puebla and Querétaro and the lakes of Valle de Bravo.
