Why join the

East European film commission “ EEFC membership: an essential investment in your personal and your

company’s professional future if you are involved in film making of any kind or in any way at all ”

Mission statement : To enable Hollywood quality production in a foreign, friendly and

relaxed atmosphere at a price which can’t be beaten,. To anticipate the every need of

producers leaving them free to focus solely on their film while we unobtrusively clear the

path for them, provide products , talent and services from within our membership to them

and remove any hurdles before they even see them.

What is the EEFC? A full 40 years before Moving images were produced in California the Movie business was in

full swing in Europe and quality movie making has always been the standard to go by in the

industry.

However Europe is made up of many small countries, each speaking different languages,

which makes filming here for the first time highly lucrative but challenging. The East

European Film Commission was therefore established to work with producers, support them

and coordinate all their filming throughout Europe with a specific focus on East Europe for

cost effectiveness.

If the Film industry were a hotel we would be the concierge who can go the extra mile, get

you permits others can’t , tax breaks others won’t , Royal castles not usually available, close

bridges for you and let your stunt guys drive 100 mph in a 30 mph zone with the police

looking and cheering you on. Our government relations (without which nothing happens in

Eastern Europe) are second to none.

Using the biggest and most modern studios in Eastern Europe there is nothing we can’t do.

Whether it be the world class Bond film actors, stunt coordinators and action Directors who

we are pleased to call our friends from the UK or the best Hollywood producers everyone is

made to feel welcome and like the VIPs that they are for our region.

From our bases in Belgrade, Serbia and Krasnodar region, Russia, home of the 2014 winter

Olympic and the next world soccer cup tournament we make everything possible with our

production managers and coordinators, fixers, assistants, location managers and scouts.

Whether you're working on an advertisement commercial or the latest studio blockbuster

Just send us the script and we will budget the script for you using industry standard

professional Movie Magic Budgeting and Scheduling.

PRE PRODUCTION SERVICE

Page 2: Why join the EEFC

Children grow up in Belgrade watching American TV programmes and films which, ( unlike in

most other European countries ) are not dubbed into the local language so English is their

second language . This means that meeting anyone who does not speak English even in the

local grocery store is highly unusual. Everyone involved in your film, transport,

accommodation and production offices are therefore all naturally English speaking.

Interpreters are available for those who need translations and interpreting into langu ages

other than English.

After we receive the RFP (Request for proposal) our work naturally starts on advising and

consulting in regard to the designated and pre-agreed all inclusive price range from our

members. We ensure that you receive local prices and not overpriced tourist rates. This

happens even before producers arrive for their first visit. Before you touch down your flight

tickets will have been sent to you, your visas will have been obtained , VIP transport will be

waiting for you at the airport (with an English speaking chauffeur ) and you will be taken

either to the hotel in your chosen price category within our special rates or to your fully

staffed villa which you have chosen as your preferred accommodation for your stay.

In your room (if it has not already been sent to you previously) you will find a welcome and

orientation pack with invitations to local celebrity venues to enable you to enjoy your free

time and relax when not working. A 24 hour telephone service is the only minder you will

need to accompany you in wonderful east Europe unless you would prefer to be escorted by

a multilingual male or female assistant and security. Either way we appoint an executive

assistant to help and guide you through all your day to day matters. We fully understand the

importance of precision in planning with no surprises when your crew arrive.

We also fully understand how important clear lines of communication are in regard to your

requirements to stay in contact with both those in your host country and those back at your

home base so in your welcome and orienteering pack you will also find a local Sim card to

make local calls and an international Sim card to save on your international calls.

While you relax in your room you will benefit from our experienced back room team who

will be busy anticipating, undertaking and researching all the expected requirements for

your scouting and production and they will provide expert solutions and recommendations

for any challenges to your expectations that they see especially in regard to those all-

important tax breaks. However the team and your designated account manager will not

only take your wishes into consideration but also advise and consult you on all matters and

locations you may have overlooked. We like to feel that this “air bag service” ( hopefully

without ever needing to be used ) accompanies you throughout your experience of working

in a foreign country with us where the rules may be different.

Naturally we will gain all your required filming permits, work permits or any other

necessary legal documentation you will need to start shooting on location. Nothing in East

Europe happens without politics and although everyday matters operate perfectly fine our

close relations with local police departments, government ministers who are film buffs, city

halls, district and administrative authorities make all the difference when the extra mile is

needed and a crisis is to be avoided or resolved. One phone call can save weeks of delays

Page 3: Why join the EEFC

when you have our friends and our friends will become your friends. The team will naturally

also deal with all Carnets, customs formalities and all the necessary paperwork needed for

the temporary import of your equipment, props and footage as well as the customs

clearance back to your homeland. Secure storage can naturally also be arranged for you for

anything you may wish to leave between visits.

If you have not already chosen your principal cast before your arrival our casting

department will make all the necessary arrangements for any castings you wish to have and

undertake background checks to ensure that the local cast genuinely are able to deliver

their promises whether it be in the form of language, moral clauses or talent according to

your requirements. Extras are naturally always accessible for background and crowd scenes

even at short notice.

Based upon your Location scouting requirements and your script and whether you wish to

scout by road, by air or by see we and the government tourist offices will naturally stand

with you to choose locations that exactly match and allow you to realise your production

exactly as you had visualised it in terms of scenery, terrain, weather, year, culture and

history. After establishing your exact requirements you wi ll be collected at your hotel daily

and taken to the exact locations you have designated after choosing from a selection which

we have previously provided you with. More importantly we are flexible and can

accommodate last minute changes. If you see November man with Pierce Brosnan running

and chasing through the streets of Moscow it is actually our Belgrade location.

Whatever your transport sourcing needs and whether you need a car, a truck, a bus , a

plane , a boat , a warship, a helicopter, an airship or any other form of tested, reliable and

safe transport you will have it for as long as you like and at a price that won’t break the bank

and with the most professional , polite and experienced crew you have ever met . We will

carefully select the crew to produce your project on time and on budget

At this stage it is also wise to arrange the various possibilities of transferring funds and

exchanging currency for your production most profitably. Currency exchange rates can vary

by as much as much as 10% and as such can play a major role in the amount of your

available spend in Europe. Our banking and currency experts are naturally on hand to advise

you completely free of charge in regard to all your banking or Forex needs and achieving the

maximum foreign currency for the minimum dollar amount.

On Arrival for shooting

All the support and assistance available to you on your previous visit is naturally available to

you still as well as the film permits and your executive assistant to coordinate and to make

sure that your every need is catered for. So now it is down to business!

In regard to security it is highly unusual for even the most senior businessmen or ministers

in Belgrade to need bodyguards and the streets are safe with extremely low levels of crime

but they are naturally available if required and the safety of our guests is something we take

very seriously and is paramount. General security for your crew and crowd and entrance

control for your secured film sets will always be present.

Page 4: Why join the EEFC

Whatever your needs to support your director’s vision our staff are on hand as if they were

your line producers to deal with all human resources , logistics, time management,

allocation of the resources from pre-production to principal photography in line with the

budget and in conjunction with the first assistant director and the unit production manager

if required . We deliver professionals skilled through years of hands-on experience as I am

sure that your due diligence in regard to the Belgrade film industry will show you. This

enables us to offer a fully integrated turnkey service for international film and television

production at the most competitive rates in Central Europe (and the world). Services are

provided by professional, multilingual staff and crew that have years of production

experience on both domestic and international projects. Camera, Sound, Lighting, Grip, Art,

Set Construction, wood and metal milling, costume design, production and rental,

Wardrobe and all the other Departments you are used to in Hollywood will provide full

production support on the studio complex as well as on location.

Amongst others you can take advantage of having the top soundstages such as:

Stage 1: 3276m2 (35,328sq ft) 78m (256ft) x 42m (138ft) x 17m (56ft)

Stage 2: 1824m2(19,625sq ft) 48m (157ft) x 38m (125ft) x 16m (52ft)

With new possibilities being added on a regular basis in our Belgrade and other locations.

Whatever Set design & construction you wish for we will ensure that your stage set

production and the fitting-up of all sizes ( whether it’s on location at any place or in a

studio) will be built up and taken down in any setting according to all of your remarks and

notations. We naturally guarantee a high-quality service and delivery of cameras, grip and

lighting film stock and specialized rigs as well as the best special effects specialists and

equipment to work with. Do you need rain, snow, wind, boom-bangs, flashes and real

blasts? They’re yours! And then there are of course those world class bond stuntmen and

doubles under the guidance of our action director and stunt coordinator as well as the

Aerial photography, aerial stunts and Trailers !

Post production

After experiencing our all-encompassing and highly professional production support

services I am sure that you will not fail to take advantage of our highly competitive

audio/video post production capabilities, including HD/SD editing suites Da Vinci colour

grading, Spirit Telecine, satellite uplink (streaming of dailies and other materials) and a

state of the art music recording studio.

Page 5: Why join the EEFC

Is there anything we have forgotten to mention? Whatever it is it will be included! Like

Harrod’s the London department store famous for supplying everything their client’s need

we will get it if we do not have it already available to provide you with that essential all

inclusive price to ensure your peace of mind.

I look forward to receiving your RFP (request for proposal) and am naturally happy to call

you personally at a convenient time for you to discuss how we can best be of assistance to

you.

Best regards

production support service enabling producers to focus solely on their creative vision.

Page 14: Why join the EEFC

A team is usually available for a new assignment at reasonably short notice. A European team is comprised of strong Movie project managers, with the abilities to

do the analysis, documentation, project plans, production analysis, tax strategies, and systems integration. These people are do-ers as well as leaders and that is why they

come together to assist in a variety of Movie and film endeavours, with the focus on launching services quickly, replacing networks quickly, negotiating service level agreements quickly, and deploying systems quickly.

They are able to accomplish the client's goal, primarily for two reasons: They are multilingual and members have the ability to deal with all the personal as

well as the technical languages of the foreign countries in which shooting is to be undertaken. They know who to speak to in government positions and have developed a system for

interfacing with vendors: carriers, ISPs, camera operators, banks and clearinghouses, legal counsel, regulators, a system that allows them to start quickly and finish quickly

for your successful quality movie making in a new country. This team brings deep, rich experience and is peopled with experienced professionals

end-to-end. Each member of the team has years of experience in Film making and in this pool of resources there is a wide range of specific tasks that have been worked on

many times and for many different companies in America, Europe, and the Far East. Project members have successfully assisted clients in re-positioning themselves in the

market by introducing innovative price packaging options which improve film quality by allowing producers to produce more quality footage per $ than in their previous

productions. EEFC team members support Producers in their objectives to produce High quality

Films and Movies and assist in all phases of the production.
