Contract Management Services

Here is how this works in practice. We set up contract running across the full pre-production cycle, organising crew engagements, talent agreements, location contracts, supplier terms, and rights forms into a single tracked workflow. Our team works with Austrian production-law pros who draft and review against the relevant Kollektivvertrag, the collective agreement that fixes minimum film-crew pay and conditions, and against EU employment and freelance frameworks.

Here is the short of it. We manage signature workflows, deadline tracking, and amendment control, and we make sure personal data in cast and crew contracts is processed in line with the Austrian Datenschutzgesetz and GDPR, enforced by the Datenschutzbehörde. For global shoots we flag the contractual conditions attached to ÖFI+ and FISA+ rebates funding. This includes Austrian spend and crew-buy-in needs, so funding obligations are reflected accurately in the forms.

Here is the breakdown. Austria's body-level framework gives contract work a clear backbone. As an EU member since 1995, within the Schengen Area and the Eurozone, the country gives predictable contract enforcement and a stable Euro-denominated cost base. The Fachverband der Film- und Musikwirtschaft within the WKO, the Austrian Economic Chamber, represents the industry and shapes the collective agreements that shoots must honour.

Here is the breakdown. Funding contracts add another layer: agreements with the Österreichisches Filminstitut, Filmfonds Wien, or regional bodies such as Cinestyria carry their own reporting and spend conditions. Rights and music clearances connect contracts to collecting societies including AKM, Austro-Mechana, and the talent rights body LSG.

We keep all of these threads aligned so that crew, talent, location, and funding agreements form a coherent, enforceable contractual record from pre-production through delivery.
