Your production coordinator
in Armenia
Hiring a production coordinator in Armenia will save you from a ton of issues while on the ground. You will work with a local who knows how everything works in their city and country. They will know the most interesting places to see and film, but also where to find a journalist fixer, for example, among others.
Read on to see our top five of the many places where you should go and shoot for your production.
Yerevan
Our production coordinator in Armenia will help you navigate Yerevan, the capital city. One impressive fact about Yerevan is this is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on the planet.
Here, Fixer Armenia’s great location scout will provide support for when you will be filming in some historically priceless locations, such as the Museum of Ancient Manuscripts, the famous Carpet Museum, the Genocide Museum, or the sublime Cafesjian Center for the Arts.
Kotayk
Being among the top provinces to visit and film in Armenia, the Kotayk region is famous for its incredible monasteries, rich history, and delightful nature. If you’re into documentaries, a journalist fixer will help you get in contact with local media people for proper results. One of the most famous places to visit here is the Garni Temple, erected in the 1st century.
Another place not to be missed is the Kecharis Monastery, a walkable medieval movie set.
Kotayk
Shirak
Located in the northeast of Armenia, the Shirak region is famous all over the planet for its churches and monasteries. Your location scout will be able to guide you while you visit some of the more famous ones, like the Yererouk Basilica, one of the earliest surviving Christian monuments in Armenia.
This is where you’ll find Gyumri, the second-largest city in Armenia, and a great alternative as a headquarters if you’re far away from the capital.
Ararat
If you plan on traveling to Ararat, your production coordinator in Armenia can show off-the-beaten-path places. If the name of this incredible small city sounds familiar, this is because it lies near the biblical Ararat Mountain.
For historians and historic filmmakers alike, Ararat is a place of great importance. It is said that here, on the top of the mountain, the ark of Noah landed after the Great Flood as depicted in the Holy Bible. Ararat is also a great producer of cognac, a culture dating from ancient days.
Ararat
Tavush
Our Armenian location scout will most likely recommend you visit Tavush while in the country. Here, along with your production coordinator in Armenia, you will be able to point your cameras toward some amazing places. Besides the world-famous Haghartsin and Makaravank Monasteries, here lies the location of a mysterious cave, Anapat.
It is said that the cave holds engravings in stone from the pre-Christian era, all of which are of high historical value.
