our bach

Welcome to our Batch!

A batch is what we in New Zealand call a little weekend house in the countryside or by the beach. A little cabin in the woods for instance.

A place where you feel free to do whatever you want - A good place to be. Batch Film Limited is a film production company located in Queenstown, New Zealand.

We provide production services for commercial film productions and photographers shooting in New Zealand, Australia and the entire South Pacific region.

With our beautiful locations, professional crews, and state of the art equipment (not to mention excellent food and coffee, and award winning wines) we can offer you all you need to shoot your project in paradise.

See you at our Batch!

We have majestic fiords and mountains, unbelievably blue glacier-fed lakes, lush rain-forests, deserts, volcanoes, undiscovered beaches and more. New Zealand is unique, it has the whole world rolled into one small country.

Situated in the South Pacific, it is made up of the North and South Islands, and covers an area the size of Great Britain, Colorado or Japan.

See some of the location pictures the Batch scouts have taken at places nearby. This will whet your appetite – get more at Batch.

We have what you don't.

Wheat fields in January and beautiful Autumn leaves in April. Because we are in the Southern hemisphere our seasons are completely opposite - Christmas arrives in the middle of summer and August is the best month for skiing - so if it is the opposite that you need, we have it.

(On top of that you get beautiful light, clean air and all the other advantages that come with shooting in paradise.)
