Production Assistants

Here is how this works in practice. We connect shoots with dependable production assistants drawn from a competitively priced, growing Belgrade-centred talent pool. Our PAs cover the full spread of the role. Set PAs handling lockups, talent escort and walkie distribution. Office PAs running production-office admin. And runners and drivers managing gear pickups, catering runs, document delivery and airport transfers. They arrive with local knowledge of Serbian vendors, transport routes and protocols, and the energy that long shooting days demand.

Here is the short of it. Bilingual in Serbian and English, our PAs bridge global crews and local suppliers, dropping the small communication gaps that slow a shoot. Because Serbia's film-services industry is competitively priced, shoots staff full PA teams in dinar at rates well below Western Europe, and the 25-30% cash rebates through the Film in Serbia programme of the Serbia Film Commission improves the value when their work qualifies. We brief PAs on the schedule and departmental needs, then connect you directly, and we can often staff extra positions at short notice.

Here is the breakdown. A production assistant in Serbia operates across a different and well-connected country. Belgrade, set where the Sava meets the Danube, has grown into a busy regional production hub with the today's PFI Studios near Simanovci nearby, and a decade of global work — including Ralph Fiennes's 'Coriolanus'. Has given local PAs genuine on-set experience. Beyond the capital, shoots move to Novi Sad and the Vojvodina flats. The Djerdap gorge and the mountains of Tara and Zlatibor, so resourceful PAs who know the road network are invaluable.

Serbia is centrally placed in the Balkans, well connected by road, with Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport as the main gateway. The country is an EU candidate but not an EU member and not in the Schengen Area. The currency is the dinar, and driving is on the right. Practical details our PAs help visiting crews handle day to day.
