Second Assistant Directors
Experienced 2nd ADs keeping your Croatian production on schedule from Zagreb to the Adriatic coast.
The 2nd Assistant Director on a Croatian production manages call sheets, coordinates background artists, and handles the logistical details that keep the 1st AD focused on the shooting floor. In Croatia, 2nd ADs must navigate local labour regulations, coordinate talent across mainland and island locations, and manage the administrative requirements of HAVC-registered productions accessing Croatia's cash rebate programme.
Through NeedAFixer, we connect you with bilingual 2nd ADs who bring disciplined organisation and clear communication to every production day. Our network includes professionals experienced in managing international features at Jadran Film Studios, large-scale period productions in Dubrovnik's old town (made famous by Game of Thrones), and complex multi-location shoots spanning Croatia's coastline and islands.

2nd AD Expertise
What does a 2nd AD do?
The 2nd AD handles logistics and paperwork that support the 1st AD's set management. This includes creating call sheets, coordinating talent movements, managing background artists, completing production reports, and handling the administrative side of daily production.
How does the 2nd AD work with the 1st AD?
The 2nd AD works off-set to keep the 1st AD informed and supported. They manage cast and background ready for set, handle paperwork the 1st AD needs, and ensure logistical coordination that allows the 1st AD to focus on running the shooting floor.
What information goes on a call sheet?
Call sheets include shooting schedule, cast calls, crew calls, location addresses, parking information, department notes, weather forecasts, safety information, and special instructions. In Croatia, call sheets include ferry schedules for island locations and old town access timing restrictions.
Can you handle large background calls?
Yes, our 2nd ADs are experienced with large crowd scenes across Croatian productions — from medieval marketplace sequences in Dubrovnik to harbour scenes in Split. They coordinate with local extras agencies and manage efficient check-in and wardrobe logistics.
What production reports do 2nd ADs complete?
2nd ADs complete daily production reports documenting scenes shot, cast work times, background numbers, hours worked, and any incidents. These reports are essential for production tracking and HAVC cash rebate qualification documentation.
Do your 2nd ADs speak English?
Yes, our Croatian 2nd ADs are fluent in both Croatian and English. They communicate clearly with international cast and crew while coordinating with local background artists, vendors, and municipal authorities.
