Why Us
Why Choose Our Production Coordinators
01.

02.

03.
Bilingual Coordination

04.
Regulatory Knowledge

On Location
Malta's production coordinators run the production office for island shoots — managing crew, travel, paperwork, and the Malta Film Commission interface that keeps permits and logistics on schedule.
Here is how this works in practice. We place production coordinators who are the operational hub of a shoot in Malta — managing the production office, setting up crew and cast, handling travel and lodging, distributing call sheets, and keeping forms and communication flowing. The local pool is skilled and ordered, built over decades of servicing global shoots, and knows the Maltese vendors, rates, and procedures that keep an office efficient. English as an official language means contracts, schedules, and correspondence move without translation friction for visiting shoots. Day rates sit competitively against larger Mediterranean markets.
Here is the short of it. For larger shoots, we supplement with coordinators and office crew from Sicily, mainland Italy, and the UK, all a short flight or ferry away, with EU freedom of movement easing crew hire. We match the coordinator to the production's scale and brief them early so the office is running smoothly before the shoot starts.
Here is the breakdown. A production coordinator in Malta works closely with the Malta Film Commission. This acts as a one-stop shop setting up permits, police, Transport Malta, Heritage Malta, and local councils — a single point of contact that simplifies the office's regulatory workload. Malta is an EU member in the Eurozone with 18% VAT and Schengen membership. This streamlines crew travel and procurement. EU freedom of movement means European crew need no work visas. The compact archipelago keeps logistics contained — most locations within 30 to 45 minutes, with Gozo reached by ferry — and Malta Global Airport handles fly-in crew. A coordinator who knows this framework keeps the production office ahead of the shoot.
