PRODUCTION

Production is essentially about dealing with two big challenges. One is money. The other is time. And they always come in pairs. But you probably know that already.
And that’s where we come in. During the years, we developed the know-how to make it all fall into place. There is always the way to find the best possible production solution; to be good, competitive and to keep the standard of quality.
Experience is not irrelevant matter when it comes to production services. It’s exactly what enables us to be a great production service and co-production partner.

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?

Croatia – a pitoresque country of more than a thousand Mediterranean islands, rough mountain scenery, miles of untouched greenery, and modern architecture combined with post-socialistic and midle-european city quarters, and that’s just for starters.

That’s just some of the reasons Croatia is a country with a unique potential for shooting international feature films and commercials. Its unmatched diversity of locations and close proximity to European production centres combined with highly skilled and experienced crews, as well as production costs that are among the lowest in Europe, Croatia offers incoming productions a high-end production value. If you’re into that. And of course you are.

And most importantly, our understanding of the local business landscape and our thorough overview of the pool of available film professionals will provide you with the security that your production is getting the most out of its shoot in Croatia.

In 2014, we produced our first feature children’s film. We are currently producing On the Edge of Reason, a feature film based on the novel of Croatia’s well-known author Miroslav Krleza. The author of the script is Gail Spilsbury and it will be directed by Marijan David Vajda.

We are always interested in a good project. Did you know that the Croatian Audiovisual Centre supports minority Croatian co-productions and is a member of MEDIA?

If you wish to find out more about filming in Croatia, or how to apply for local funding, the cash rebate program or a VAT refund, don’t hesitate to ask us about it, we’ll give you advice. We can also advise you on any other aspect of film production, from location scouting, through obtaining filming or work permits, to importing goods and renting equipment… You name it.

And if you are interested in finding out more about Croatia’s production incentive programme, from the actual application process, the potential eligibility of your project, the estimated turnaround time and rebate amount, please feel free to give us a call. Or send us an e-mail. We’ll be glad to help.

Croatia, one of the most beautiful Mediterranean countries in terms of locations, is film-friendly and easy to film in. It’s a small country that offers a great variety.

That variety of landscapes and climates offers crews an opportunity to film in locations extending from continental plains, through high mountains, to the Mediterranean coast, and all within a few hours drive.

So if you have a project for which you are seeking various captivating and production-friendly locations that are within in close range to each other, you’ve come to the right place. All you have to do is ask, and we will be more than happy to prepare for you a selection of location pictures suitable for your project.

Aashish Singh

Producer, Yash Raj Films

Boris and his team at Formula film is one of the best production teams in the world that we have ever worked with , their planning and execution of the shooting of our feature film ‘Fan ‘ was immaculate. They also ensured that we could shoot the schedule within our budget.

Marc&Mike

Directors

When we think of Formula Film these things come instantly to our mind: great food - great girls - great weather. Working with the Formula guys (and the girl!) was a blast. They were fast, had a very professional working approach that suited our style and they equipped us with a crew that came straight from a Ridley Scott movie. But what’s most important: they have a great sense of humour.

Dr. York A. Fanger

Director & Producer

...Working in Croatia has taught me something we have forgotten here in Germany: that reliability and good shooting results have nothing to do with the size of a budget. At Formula Film I have met people who take pride in delivering the best job possible & putting in all their efforts into their work without looking at the prize tag. This all sounds simple but we all know that we do not experience this approach very often anymore…

Tomas Erhart

DoP

Shooting two commercials in Croatia with FF team only left me with the best impressions. The locations are of a big variety - from seaside to harsh mountains. The crews are multilingual, friendly and of good skills and the technical standard of every sort of equipment is high. I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot there again.

Marcel-Kyrill Gardelli

Director

It gave me great pleasure to shoot in Croatia with formula film. I was truly impressed by the high level of professionalism, motivation and creativity within my teams. Not only did I have a fantastic time with the people, I also ended up making friends. I thank Boris Dmitrović and his crew, who have always let me benefit from their long experience in filmmaking.

SAY HELLO.

And ask us anything. We’ll get back to you as quickly as possible.
