Transportation Coordinators

Here is how this works in practice. We place transportation coordinators who manage the fleet and movement logistics for productions in the Czech Republic. Our transportation coordinators procure vehicles compliant with Czech rules, hire locally licensed drivers, and run cast transport, crew shuttles, airport transfers and the production-vehicle fleet. Camera and grip trucks, wardrobe trucks, honeywagons and generator vehicles. They plan routes and company moves, manage parking and staging, and adapt to schedule changes through the shoot. The Czech Republic's compact geography and good road network make multi-site shooting efficient. Our coordinators know the routes between Prague, Brno, Ostrava and the regional locations. They work fluently in English, set up the discreet transport that principal cast need, and manage transport within the Czech Labour Code on driver hours.

Here is the short of it. Trusted transport underpins the global productions the Czech Republic hosts. Decades of service shoots — features and series shot at Barrandov Studios and on locations across Bohemia and Moravia — have built transportation coordinators skilled with the call-time discipline, company moves and fleet scale that major productions demand. As an EU member in the Schengen Area, the Czech Republic also allows straightforward cross-border movement of vehicles and crew from Germany, Austria, Poland and Slovakia. Gear moving worldwide is handled through ATA Carnets and Czech Customs.

Here is the breakdown. Transport spend on a Czech production forms part of qualifying spend toward the Czech Film Fund's 20% cash rebate. Our transportation coordinators plan logistics so cast, crew and gear reach every location on schedule, including remote sites that need route scouting and contingency planning.
