On Location
Austria's production coordinators run the production office, managing crew, travel, contracts and communication across shoots in Vienna and the regions under the country's collective-agreement framework.
Here is how this works in practice. We supply production coordinators who run the production office and keep an Austrian shoot ordered. Our production coordinators manage crew bookings, travel and lodging, contracts and forms, communication between departments, and the flow of info that holds a production together. We brief them on your production, schedule and scope, then confirm openings against your timeline.
Here is the short of it. A strong coordinator is the hub of the production office. On Austrian shoots they handle the practicalities of working across Vienna, Salzburg and regional locations. Our production coordinators work fluently in English and German and are well versed in the local administrative environment. We contract under the Kollektivvertrag terms set by the Fachverband der Film- und Musikwirtschaft within the WKO.
Set up the production coordinator with the line producer, production manager and first AD so the office supports the shoot at each stage.
Here is the breakdown. Austria's production-office work runs within a clear, well-ordered framework. Crew engagements are set by the Kollektivvertrag — collective agreements negotiated through the Fachverband der Film- und Musikwirtschaft within the WKO — which gives coordinators a defined structure for contracts, hours and conditions. Productions must also handle obligations under GDPR. The Austrian Datenschutzgesetz when managing crew and cast data.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Gear movements may need ATA Carnets through Zollamt Oesterreich. Austria's deep, English-speaking crew pool, trained through the Filmakademie Wien, and its central European position make planning across borders straightforward — crews and services move easily from Germany, the Czech Republic and other neighbours under EU freedom of movement. Location Austria, part of the Austrian Business Agency, and the rebates of the Oesterreichisches Filminstitut support incoming shoots.
Well-coordinated shoots are the norm in Austria, a country with studio infrastructure and a long history of tricky global shoots.
