Where the Island
meets the screen.
Ex-Isle is the Isle of Man's dedicated casting and film facility agency — connecting filmmakers with talent, locations and production services across 22+ feature films and TV productions.
What We Do
A complete A–Z
of film production services.
From sourcing background artistes to managing production logistics, we provide everything a film crew needs when shooting on the Isle of Man.
A diverse database of registered extras, from specific character types to large crowd scenes — all sourced locally from the Isle of Man.
The Island offers stunning and varied backdrops — coastlines, countryside, Victorian streetscapes, and dramatic mountain roads — all within a small area.
We can source and coordinate animals for productions, working with local owners to ensure safe, professional on-set animal handling.
We maintain a directory of production-friendly accommodation across the Island, from crew houses to B&Bs close to key filming locations.
Local knowledge means efficient logistics. We can coordinate transport, freight forwarding, and crew vehicles for your production.
We supply actors for corporate training, role-play scenarios, and presentations — trusted by organisations including Royal Skandia.
