They handle the logistics of demanding settings. This includes parking, power, crew movement and unit base placement around Dubrovnik's pedestrianised Old City, inside Diocletian's Palace, and at island and national-park locations. A location manager we place sets up with HAVC.

They work fluently in English, expect access and weather problems, and bring the local knowledge that makes Croatia's spectacular but logistically tricky locations workable for a global shoots.

Vis and Korcula, Plitvice Lakes and the Krka waterfalls, and the Istrian towns of Pula. Rovinj and Motovun give shoots huge variety. Several are UNESCO World Heritage Sites needing careful conservation handling. The country's screen record proves the point: 'Game of Thrones' used Dubrovnik and Split, 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' filmed in Dubrovnik, and the 1960s Winnetou Westerns used Plitvice and the Velebit mountains.
