On Location

Prague pre-production, expertly planned

Here is how this works in practice. Pre-production in the Czech Republic sets the foundation for everything that follows on screen. From the cobblestone streets of Prague's Old Town to the Baroque townscapes of Český Krumlov and the industrial character of Ostrava, each location demands careful planning before a single camera rolls. Our team handles each aspect of production planning and creative development, setting up logistics so that schedules hold, budgets stay on track, and your creative vision stays fully intact from the first briefing through to shoot day.

Schedules built on real Czech Film Commission timelines and regional permit realities — never wishful thinking about how Prague city hall moves.

Here is the short of it. Strong pre-production starts with careful Creative & Development work. Exploring concepts, pressure-testing scripts, and identifying the visual language that will define the project. Our Scriptwriting and Script Consultation services refine narrative structure and dialogue with an eye on what will actually work in-camera. Storyboarding translates the script into shot-by-shot visual sequences, while Concept Development and Moodboards align the whole production team around a unified aesthetic. We also manage Casting & Talent sourcing across Prague, Brno, and Karlovy Vary, securing local performers and extras who bring authenticity to Czech settings.

FAQs

Pre-Production FAQs

Clear answers on timelines, coverage, and how we tailor planning to your production.

What's included in pre-production services?

Here is how this works in practice. Our team gives complete production services which have script breakdown and scheduling and location selection across 13 Czech regions and Prague agency casting and crew member selection from our OK'd network and budget development in USD with Czech Film Fund cash rebates calculations and permit submission to the Czech Film Commission and local authorities. You receive a production-ready package before the cameras start filming.

How long does pre-production take?

Here is the short of it. The process of obtaining locations and casting actors and wrapping Czech Film Fund forms for feature films needs a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks. The production timeline for commercials stays short because they need only 2 to 4 weeks to finish production when shoot sites have easy access. The process of getting documentary access and conducting interviews decides which film projects filmmakers can start their work on. The team can accelerate project work when needed but Czech authority rules about permit processing create key time needs.

Do you work with international productions shooting in Czech Republic?

That's our specialty. We bridge the gap between global shoots firms and Czech crews, vendors, and authorities. Our team handles everything from carnet needs for gear crossing borders to setting up with Czech unions and handling the Czech Film Fund co-production rules. Most of our clients are UK, US, German, and Asian shoots shooting on Czech soil.

Can you work within a specific budget?

Here is the breakdown. The firm creates budgets which use USD as currency and have detailed line items that follow the formatting needs of the Czech industrial sector. If you have a target number, we'll tell you honestly what's achievable—whether that means adjusting the shooting schedule, finding alternative locations, or restructuring the crew. We'd rather have a frank conversation upfront than deliver surprises later.

What happens if permits get denied or locations fall through?

Here is what that looks like on the ground. It happens, and we plan for it. The location packages we give have backup solutions and we have set up connections with Czech property owners and film commissions to handle unexpected changes in filming locations. Our location managers have pulled off same-week replacements for everything from historic estate shoots to Czech apartment interiors.
