Feature Film Production

Here is how this works in practice. We give full production support for feature films shooting in Croatia, setting up crew, locations, gear and logistics from prep through principal photography to wrap. Our team assembles skilled heads of department and English-speaking tech crews. We manage the tricky moving parts a feature needs: location agreements and permits, unit bases and lodging, transport, gear hire and rebates admin. Croatia's compact geography means a production can stage a walled medieval city, an Adriatic island. A mountain landscape and a today's cityscape within a manageable shooting schedule. We handle the practical groundwork so directors and producers can focus on the film, with local knowledge that keeps tricky location work efficient and on budget.

Here is the short of it. Croatia's feature-film credentials are well set up. 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' used Dubrovnik as the casino city of Canto Bight, 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' was shot on the island of Vis, and 'Robin Hood' filmed in Dubrovnik, while the wider 'Game of Thrones' production cemented the country's service reputation. Croatia's screen heritage runs deeper still: the Zagreb School of Animation produced Dušan Vukotić's 'Ersatz' ('Surogat'). The 1962 Academy Award winner for Best Animated Short.

The Pula Film Festival has run in the city's Roman amphitheatre since 1954. HAVC, the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, administers the 'Filming in Croatia' incentive. A 25% cash rebates on qualifying spend rising to 30% in less-developed regions. The euro, adopted on 1 January 2023, simplifies global budget work. Our crews give features the locations, craft and trust they need.
