On Location
We connect productions with Croatian acting talent, from graduates of the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb to internationally known names, supported by deep regional casting networks across the country.
Here is how this works in practice. We run casting in Croatia from start to finish, from breakdowns and self-tape calls through to callbacks, chemistry reads and final negotiations. Our team draws on a broad talent pool, working with local casting directors, agents and the Academy of Dramatic Art (Zagreb) to source principals, day players, background and specialty performers. We organise auditions in Zagreb and on the coast, manage scheduling around actor openings, and set up bilingual sessions so Croatian-speaking talent and global directors communicate clearly.
For shoots needing specific looks, languages or skills, we cast across Dalmatia. Istria and the islands. We handle the practical side: travel, lodging, fittings and the forms that keeps a casting process moving. We also advise on rates and standard terms so gives are realistic for the Croatian market.
Here is the short of it. Croatia has a strong screen-acting custom. Goran Visnjic became widely known through 'ER', Rade Serbedzija built a global career across 'Eyes Wide Shut', 'Snatch'. The 'Taken' films and 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'. Mira Furlan looked in 'Lost' and 'Babylon 5'. That heritage runs through the Academy of Dramatic Art (Zagreb) and is celebrated each year at the Pula Film Festival. The national festival held in the Roman amphitheatre since 1954 and awarding the Golden Arena.
Here is the breakdown. Global shoots including 'Game of Thrones' and 'Robin Hood' have drawn on Croatian performers and crew. English is widely spoken in the local film industry, with Italian co-official in parts of Istria. We use these networks and venues to find talent that fits each role and to give shoots confidence in the depth of the Croatian casting market.
