Location Management Expertise
What does a location manager do during production?
The location manager oversees all aspects of your filming locations—from arrival to wrap. This includes supervising crew on site, managing access and parking, coordinating with property owners, monitoring permit compliance, controlling noise and crowd issues, and ensuring the location is restored properly.
Do you handle permits and permissions?
Yes, our location managers coordinate all filming permits across Hungarian regions. We work with Budapest Film Office for city permits, HNFF for tax rebate compliance, and district authorities for location access. ATA Carnet equipment import is also handled.
What about heritage sites and protected locations?
We specialize in managing complex locations including Buda Castle, the Parliament Building, and Danube-side heritage zones. Our managers coordinate with the Heritage Protection Office and understand the strict protocols for Budapest's most iconic filming locations.
How do you handle neighbor and community relations?
Our location managers proactively communicate with neighbors before filming, address concerns during production, and ensure positive relationships. This community approach protects your production and maintains good standing for future shoots.
Can you manage multiple locations simultaneously?
Yes, for productions with multiple locations, we provide location management teams coordinating across all sites. Our managers communicate to ensure consistent standards and seamless company moves between locations.
What are typical location fees?
Location fees in Hungary are highly competitive — a key advantage alongside the 30% tax rebate. Budapest public locations are managed through district governments, while heritage sites negotiate through relevant authorities. Our managers handle all negotiations in HUF.
