On Location
Czech location managers run filming sites and permits across one of Europe's most versatile location countries, from Prague's Old Town to castles and the Bohemian Switzerland landscape.
Here is how this works in practice. We place location managers who handle every practical aspect of a production's filming sites in the Czech Republic. Our location managers secure permits through the Prague Film Commission. The Czech Film Commission, set up road closures and police liaison, negotiate access with property owners and castle administrators, and watch locations day to day. Managing crew, parking, basecamp, noise, crowd control and safety. They run tech scouts, plan company moves between sites, and run location wrap and restoration.
Here is the short of it. The Czech Republic's intact medieval, baroque and art-nouveau architecture means a single country can double for Vienna, Paris, London and old-world Europe, and our location managers know how to make that work legally and smoothly, including the heritage needs for filming in Prague's UNESCO-listed historic centre and in protected towns such as Český Krumlov, Telč and Kutná Hora.
Here is the breakdown. The Czech Republic's reputation as the 'Hollywood of the East' rests on its locations. Decades of global productions have built location managers who know the country intimately. Prague — its Charles Bridge, Castle, Old Town Square and Jewish Quarter — has stood in for cities across Europe in films from 'Amadeus' to 'Casino Royale' and 'Mission: Impossible'; castles such as Karlštejn and Loket, and the dramatic sandstone of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, have served countless period and fantasy projects. A Czech location manager keeps the local relationships that keep these doors open, knows the conditions set by heritage authorities, and makes sure location-related spend is documented toward the Czech Film Fund's 20% cash rebate.
