SCENE 01 / LOCATION MANAGEMENT
Location Management Services
Professional on-site coordination and location supervision across Croatia.
Here is how this works in practice. Location management in Croatia covers scouting, securing, preparing, and managing filming locations across a production. Location managers set up access, permits, parking, power, crowd control, and restoration at sites including Dubrovnik's city walls (Game of Thrones locations), Split's Diocletian Palace, and Plitvice Lakes, making sure each location is ready for filming and returned to its original condition afterward.
Here is the short of it. We give full location management services that handle each aspect of your filming locations across Croatia. Our team scouts potential sites, negotiates access, manages logistics on shooting days — including managing tourist flow at popular coastal locations during peak season — and oversees location restoration, allowing your creative team to focus fully on production.

On Location
We provide location management across Croatia, running locations on the ground from the walled Old City of Dubrovnik to the islands and national parks.
Here is how this works in practice. We manage locations through prep, shoot and wrap so each one is ready, controlled and well handed back. Our team takes a confirmed location and makes it work for the unit: arranging access, parking and basecamp, setting up with owners and authorities, managing utilities and facilities, and running prep, strike and restoration. We run the location on shoot days, handling crowd and traffic control, neighbour relations and the conditions attached to permits, and we keep the AD team informed of anything that affects the schedule. Across Croatia's different terrain, from tight historic streets to remote island and national-park sites. We expect the practical issues, ferry access, heat, light, public interest, and solve them before they cost the production time.
Here is the short of it. Location running in Croatia means handling some of Europe's most filmed and most covered places. Dubrovnik's walled Old City, the 'Pearl of the Adriatic', stood in as King's Landing across 'Game of Thrones' and as Canto Bight in 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'. Diocletian's Palace in Split is a living Roman monument. And the Plitvice Lakes and Krka waterfalls are covered national parks. The regional film commissions in Dubrovnik, Zagreb and Istria, working with HAVC, help set up access, and UNESCO protections shape what is possible at landmark sites.
Here is the breakdown. The Med climate gives a long spring-to-autumn shooting season, while summer brings heavy tourist traffic to coastal cores. We draw on direct experience of these conditions to manage locations that are well prepared, with respect handled and reliably ready for the camera.
