PRODUCTION SERVICE EUROPE
More than €3 billion in funding awarded to the film industry in Europe every year.
​Your Partner in Europe.
In Europe, there are numerous subsidies, grants and tax incentives to support the film and television industry. The total volume amounts to almost 3 billion euros per year. The individual countries are in intense competition with each other, and the respective funding guidelines and conditions change regularly.
We constantly monitor the entire European funding market and are in close contact with the funding agencies and film commissioners.
We also stay current on all the relevant salaries, social benefits, and overtime regulations for your budgeting needs. By combining multiple European funding sources, grants, and tax breaks, we can match them to the specific needs of your project thus maximizing the financial benefit to your production.
We help you navigate below the line to prevent running into incentive issues for your department heads, and we help address any issues regarding their entry and visas.
Via the main menu you can explore the different regions and countries where we have provided the latest funding information for you.
