Belgium ends at Essen. This is the northernmost municipality of the country, bordering only Kalmthout on the Belgian side; everything else is the Netherlands, roughly one resident in five holds a Dutch passport, and the border station on the Antwerp–Roosendaal line has shaped the place for well over a century. Business follows the same cross-border logic: the Rijkmaker industrial estate holds a hundred-odd SMEs — coachwork, recycling, furniture-making, technical trades — and around it lie farms, tree nurseries and the open land that covers three quarters of the municipality. Nobody is going to build a film studio here, so we bring one to you: cameras, sound and lighting arrive at your workshop, farm or office and we record your video podcast, webinar or talking-head video on location. Sessions start at €99, or record in our Brussels-region studio.

We come to you across Essen
Where we film in Essen
We film across the whole municipality — Essen-Centrum, the station quarter around the old border station, the workshops and sheds of the Rijkmaker estate, and the outlying cores of Wildert, Horendonk, Essen-Hoek and Heikant. Because three quarters of Essen is open land, an outdoor set-up genuinely pays off here: the Wildertse Duintjes, the Horendonkse Bossen and the fields along the Dutch border beat a beige wall every time.
Built for Essen’s teams
Essen is a municipality of makers and growers rather than head offices: the SMEs on Rijkmaker — coachwork, recycling, furniture and technical trades — farms and tree nurseries, cross-border transport and rail, plus schools, care services and the local B2B that supplies them. Firms like these fight to hire technical staff, sell to customers on both sides of the border, and need to show what they actually make. Recruitment video, product and process explainers, customer stories and recorded webinars do that job.

Filming in Essen — your questions
Do you film on location in Essen?
Yes. We bring cameras, sound and lighting to your workshop, office, farm or school anywhere in Essen — the Rijkmaker estate, the centre, the station quarter or one of the outlying cores — and film your video podcast, webinar or talking-head video there. Our Brussels-region studio remains an option if you want a controlled set.
Can you record for an audience on both sides of the Dutch border?
Yes. Essen lives with the border, and many businesses here address Belgian and Dutch customers at once. We record in Dutch as standard and can shoot an English or second-language version in the same session, so one shoot day covers both audiences.
Can you film outdoors — on a yard, a nursery or in the fields?
Yes, and in Essen that is often where the real work happens. We film outside with wind protection on the microphones and lighting that copes with changing skies, and we always plan a covered fallback spot in case the weather turns. We shoot seven days a week, so a Saturday on a quiet yard is no problem.
How does pricing work?
Every session starts at €99. You build the rest in the booking — crew, editing, social clips, livestream, on-location — and the price updates live. All prices excl. VAT; we confirm the quote before anything is charged.
What do I leave with?
It depends on the package. A turnkey podcast includes the edited 16:9 video, the audio file and 5 vertical clips for social. We agree the delivery timeline with you when we plan the shoot.
Do I own the footage and files?
Yes, outright. Raw footage is available on request.
