Union & Non-Union Talent Management

Here is how this works in practice. We manage the pro and union side of engaging talent on Croatian shoots. Our team sets up cast engagements in line with local employment practice, prepares and manages deal memos and contracts, and makes sure rates, hours, late hours and working conditions are handled correctly for principals, day players and background performers. We act as the link between production, agents and performers' representatives, keep forms ordered and compliant, and make sure obligations around insurance, safety and rights are reflected in talent agreements. We handle these plan across the Dalmatian coast. Zagreb and island units, keeping the production's buy-in of talent clear, fair and well logged from casting through wrap.

Here is the short of it. Engaging talent in Croatia operates within an EU employment framework. Croatia joined the European Union in 2013 and applies EU labour standards alongside national employment law, with agreements denominated in euros following the 2023 currency adoption. The country has a well-set up pro acting community, trained at the Academy of Dramatic Art (Zagreb) and represented by skilled agents, and Croatian performers including Goran Visnjic. Rade Serbedzija and Mira Furlan have built global careers.

Here is the breakdown. Major shoots such as 'Game of Thrones' and 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' have engaged large Croatian casts in compliance with these standards. We draw on that experience to manage union and pro talent plan that protect performers and keep the production compliant and well ordered.
