RE: What should I expect from a production service company?
A good production service company in Italy will cover all of that. They act as your local partner, making sure everything runs smoothly on the ground while you focus on the creative side. That includes crew hiring, location scouting, equipment rental, casting, transport, accommodation, and managing the shooting schedule. What’s your timeframe? Do you already have locations in mind?
We’re planning a two-week shoot in Tuscany and Rome. I have a few reference locations, but nothing booked yet. Also, I’ll need bilingual crew since not all of our team speaks Italian. Is that something these service companies usually provide too?
