Introduction to Film Production in Croatia
Professional fixer services provide essential local knowledge and operational support that bridges the gap between international productions and local environments, ensuring smooth logistics, regulatory compliance, and cultural navigation throughout the filming process. As a company, we offer full production services, including comprehensive management of logistics, crew, and equipment.
Our experienced fixers bring deep understanding of local customs, government procedures, business practices, and logistical networks that enable foreign productions to operate efficiently while maintaining positive relationships with local communities, authorities, and service providers. They assist with creating and managing local production budgets and schedules, negotiating with local suppliers to secure competitive rates.
Croatia delivers proven film production capabilities that combine established cinematic infrastructure with operational efficiency. The country provides diverse location assets—from major urban centers to rural territories and coastal regions—that serve the specific requirements of TV series, commercial productions, and feature films.

Frequently Asked Questions
What permits are needed for filming in Croatia?
Filming permits are issued at the municipal level, with major cities like Zagreb, Dubrovnik, and Split having dedicated film offices. National parks like Plitvice require separate Nature Park administration approval. Heritage sites need Ministry of Culture clearance. Our fixers coordinate across all relevant bodies to build a complete permit package.
How does Croatia's cash rebate programme work?
HAVC administers a 25% cash rebate on qualifying Croatian spend for international productions. Applications must be submitted before filming begins. Our fixers help you prepare the HAVC application, identify qualifying expenditures, and coordinate with local service providers to maximise your eligible spend.
What languages do your Croatian fixers speak?
All our Croatian fixers are native Croatian speakers fluent in English. Many also speak German, Italian, or other regional languages — valuable for co-productions and for coordinating in Istria's bilingual Italian-Croatian communities or with German-speaking clients.
What does a typical fixer handle on a Croatian production?
Our Croatian fixers arrange municipal filming permits, coordinate police and coast guard for location shoots, manage boat and ferry logistics for island filming, source local crew and equipment, handle Schengen visa support for non-EU crew, and provide on-set coordination from pre-production through wrap.
