Over the last few months, we were thrilled to have the opportunity of working for the film industry. So far, film sets have been the most unusual and exciting workplaces we have experienced. On the other hand, we had no idea what to expect or how the days would progress.
Our massage services were booked as a gift of appreciation from the actors and producers the various teams and were booked at the last few weeks of each film shooting. The bookings were extended over various dates as there were a lot of people to treat. We massaged both filming crews and members of the cast: cameramen/women, scriptwriters, make-up artists, nurses, actors, producers and other members of the production team. Everyone was so happy, appreciative and excited to receive their sessions. Their feedback was amazing and they wished we could be there every day. Also, we were excited to learn some details about the films but unfortunately, due to confidentiality, we cannot share.

Keep believing, keep pretending.
The film shootings took place at the premises of Warner Bros Studios and each day we would work on different locations depending on where filming crews and production teams were. Their free time was limited and sometimes they even had to go before the end of their session as they were called via their intercom to run and assist. Parts of the areas we were accommodated were not glamorous at all (outside tents in parking areas or between backdrop areas) while others were inside modern offices and very nicely decorated with posters of various past productions such as the Matrix Reloaded. This diversity and adaptability is part of the industry as we realised and the overall result is what matters.
The overall experience was unique and we are looking forward to watch the movies whenever they are released as well as to recognise some of the clients we massaged!
