About

History of TSF

TSF, the technical passion behind filmmaking.

Since 1979, TSF has been working behind the scenes of film and television production.

As France’s leading technical production provider, TSF supports more than 100 feature films and 400 hours of TV drama each year, as well as numerous commercials, series, music videos, short films and documentaries.

What sets TSF apart?
A global offer adapted to your projects – from technical equipment
(camera & optics, lighting, grip), production support, vehicles, studios & backlot, Cinéboutique — or a customized solution focused on one or several of these areas, all backed by an unmatched service culture.

Every day, we work alongside cinematographers, production managers, and technical crews to streamline production and ensure the best possible shooting conditions.
