Why Us
Why Choose Our Production Coordinators

02.

03.

04.

On Location
Production coordinators running the office backbone of Serbian shoots — paperwork, travel, crew deal memos and vendor liaison — with established Belgrade supplier relationships.
Here is how this works in practice. We connect shoots with skilled production coordinators who keep the day-to-day admin of a Serbian shoot ordered. Our coordinators set up and run the production office, manage crew deal memos and start forms, arrange flights, hotels and ground transport, process purchase orders and invoices, and act as the communication hub between departments. They work closely with production managers and line producers, keep a vetted network of Serbian vendors and rental houses across Belgrade. Novi Sad and beyond.
Here is the short of it. Know the records that the 25-30% cash rebates through the Film in Serbia programme of the Serbia Film Commission needs. Bilingual in Serbian and English, they bridge global crews and local suppliers cleanly. Because Serbia's film-services industry is competitively priced, shoots secure thorough planning in dinar at rates well below Western Europe. We brief coordinators on scope, schedule and budget, then connect you directly, ideally several weeks before principal photography so office systems are ready.
Here is the breakdown. Serbia gives a production coordinator a compact, well-connected base of operations. The country is centrally placed in the Balkans, well connected by road, with Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport as the main gateway, and its modest distances keep travel logistics between Belgrade, Novi Sad and regional locations manageable. Belgrade has grown into a busy regional production hub over a decade-plus of servicing global features and series, with a real vendor and crew ecosystem a coordinator can lean on.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Serbia is an EU candidate but not an EU member and not in the Schengen Area. The currency is the Serbian dinar, and standard VAT is 20%. Practical points a coordinator factors into bookings and forms for global crews. The time zone is CET and English is widely spoken in the film-services industry, so setting up arrivals, lodging and vendor schedules for visiting teams is straightforward across the shoot.
