Supporting a Swedish Lifestyle Television Series in Barcelona
SVT, Swedish television, came to us to produce episode 4 of their series “Ålderskris med Keyyo och Rheborg” (Midlife Crisis with Keyyo and Rheborg) in Barcelona. The show follows two of Sweden’s most famous TV personalities: comedian Keyyo and actor Johan Rheborg, as they explore midlife themes. For this episode, they wanted to capture Barcelona’s lifestyle and culture.
SVT brought their own camera crew along with Keyyo and Johan from Sweden. We came on board as their local production partner in Barcelona to handle everything on the ground so they could focus on filming.
What We Did
Our team of fixers in Barcelona took care of the complete pre-production and production logistics for the shoot:
- Location scouting: We found and locked down all the filming locations across Barcelona, from apartments to family gatherings to beach scenes that fit their creative needs.
- Permits acquisition: We handled all the necessary filming permits around the city so they could shoot without delays.
- Transportation: We organized all the gear and crew transport throughout the shoot days.
- Accommodation and catering: We sorted lodging for the Swedish team and arranged meals during production days.
- Interview coordination: We scheduled and organized the interview segments they needed.
Basically, we managed all the full logistics at 360°, everything that needed to happen locally so Keyyo, Johan, and the Swedish crew could concentrate on getting their content.
Why It Worked
When you’re filming in a foreign city, having a local team that knows how things work makes all the difference. SVT could focus on capturing the story they wanted while we handled the logistics that can otherwise slow down international productions.
The episode captures Barcelona authentically, which is exactly what happens when foreign crews can work efficiently without worrying about permits, locations, and daily production details.
