Set Medics
What matters on set
A film set has its own rules: long shooting days, changing locations, stunts, pyrotechnics, cold during night shoots. A set medic has to fit into this workflow without disrupting the shoot, and act immediately in an emergency.
With our First Responder vehicle we simply move with you when the location changes. Equipment and medic are always where the cameras are rolling.
