PROGRESSIVE!
Progressive Productions is a Hungarian production company based in Budapest with a branch in Vienna, Austria. We are a trusted partner for producers, production companies, ad agencies, and studios, providing production services for shoots in Hungary or Austria. Our comprehensive range of services covers everything from film productions and worldwide advertising campaigns to still photography.
Progressive Productions was founded in 2009 by producers Iván Gerő and Zoltán Haulis, who had spent years working together at Hungary’s top television production company. Their goal was to build something exceptional by combining hard work, professionalism, and precision with a drive for innovation and growth. Simply put, they were passionate about their craft, embraced challenges, and were committed to delivering exceptional production services at the highest standard.
In 2015, Progressive Productions expanded to Austria, building on its strong foundation and reputation. With Vienna as its hub, the company has since been providing outstanding production services across the country.
PRODUCTION SERVICES IN HUNGARY
Our services in Hungary stand on three key pillars: Production Services, Location Services and Casting/Talent Services; each organized into independent units staffed by in-house professionals.
PRODUCTION
Our Production Department possesses outstanding knowledge of Hungary and has developed strong ties with our suppliers over the years. Our suppliers have been tried and tested, and are among the best in their respective fields of expertise.
Location
We are the only company in Hungary with a dedicated Location Department, a strategic investment that pays off in countless ways. This service shines through in the quality of our location proposals and the seamless coordination of selected locations for our clients.
Casting/Talent
Our unique, independent Talent and Casting Services Division has brought the Hungarian casting process up-to-date and in line with global standards.
PRODUCTION SERVICES IN AUSTRIA
Our services in Austria rest on the strong foundations of our experienced Budapest production team, which, with its solution-oriented approach, around-the-clock availability and quality-driven attitude - a key attribute of Progressive Productions - is well positioned to manage all Austrian projects efficiently.
PRODUCTION
We provide comprehensive production services in Austria, backed by our in-depth knowledge and strong connections with Austrian facilities and crews. Whether it's a city shoot on the streets of Vienna or a mountain shoot in the high Alpine regions, we are fully prepared to ensure a smooth and stress-free production environment.
Location
Our location department has built an extensive, high-quality database, offering you a wide variety of options for productions in Austria. Our team is constantly exploring the streets of Vienna and Salzburg, as well as the breathtaking landscapes of the Alps, to discover unique and versatile locations that perfectly capture the charm and character of Austria.
Casting/Talent
The casting process best showcases our ability to utilize resources from both countries. We have the luxury of searching in two talent pools for the right fit for a role. The casting of Hungarian buyout models is a cost-effective way to secure talent for certain projects.
REGIONAL & GLOBAL NETWORK
Since Progressive has access to film and photo crews in two countries, and can utilize other services in both Hungary and Austria, we are confident that we offer the best solution for productions in the region. Furthermore, Progressive Productions is among the founding partners of the Production Service Network which was established in 2014, creating a global community of leading production companies with shared values and beliefs. Because of this network of partners, we can connect you with other top-tier production companies worldwide that share our commitment to quality and excellence in services.
OUR CLIENTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Progressive Locations is our dedicated department specializing in finding the perfect locations for photo shoots and film productions. We also handle all related permitting and administrative tasks, ensuring a seamless workflow from the initial presentation through the entire permitting process. We pride ourselves on upholding the highest standards in location photography and the quality of our presentations. What sets us apart in the region is our commitment to offering comprehensive, flexible location services that are uniquely available through our company.
LOCATION SCOUTING
Progressive Locations’ scout team is relentlessly on the lookout for new locations, taking high-quality photos of them while considering their future usability. All such location images are stored with consistent keyword indexing, including production notes. This allows us to respond to our clients’ location request briefs promptly, with the closest match to their requirements. We have the capability to find sites that meet multiple criteria for complex locations and complicated scenes. Our team is well-versed in architectural trends and periods, possessing the appropriate skills to assess locations simultaneously from a director’s, a DOP’s, or a photographer’s perspective, while being fully aware of the ins and outs of production.
LOCATION MANAGEMENT
We go beyond finding the most suitable location for the given brief by taking responsibility for the feasibility of production at the preferred site. Therefore, it is our team that conducts the end-to-end location management. We have experience in closing down a downtown main road or a central railway station, and have shot scenes in the National State Opera and other sensitive high-profile venues. Our services include negotiating the location fees, preparing contracts and associated paperwork, coordinating legal issues, obtaining filming permits, designing and implementing traffic plans and street closures, scheduling police and fire safety officers. We collaborate with experienced, well-trained and highly skilled location managers to ensure everything runs smoothly.
We consider our location database, which contains thousands of potential filming locations, one of the greatest strengths of our company. We believe that one of the key criteria for great service - whether it’s for a film, a commercial, or a photo shoot - is to provide our clients with presentations that showcase the best available locations with the highest quality photos and offer solutions to even the most complex location requirements.
