Shooting in Slovenia? We’ve got a guya crew for that

Squareme is a full-service production company in Ljubljana. We have been shooting commercials, series and films here for 13 years, so we know the crews, the locations and who actually picks up the phone. Bring the idea, we’ll handle Slovenia.

01

One call. Whole shoot.

Commercials, films, series or something for the internet. Whatever your shoot needs on the ground in Slovenia, you talk to one producer. Same team from the first scout to the wrap party.

A / Production & crew

Organised beyond reasonable. And extremely fast.

Budget, schedule and call sheets, organised to a level most people would call unreasonable. Every person on our sets is someone we hand-picked, because a shoot is only as good as the individuals on it.

We stay within budget. Always. The one thing we overdo is lunch: we will always, always spoil you with amazing food.

Quality, yes. Budget, yes. But the experience of shooting with us is something else.

B / Places

Locations & permits

Scouting, recces, permits and the neighbour who needs convincing. Slovenia makes it easy: very good conditions for renting locations, and a lot of places you can actually get.

C / Gear

Camera, light & grip

Whatever is on your list. With Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungary all this close, we can gather pretty much anything you wish for.

D / Faces & finish

Casting & post

Local faces and extras, plus talent from Hungary and the other neighbouring countries when you need a wider range. Then edit, grade and sound.

Slovenia. Any look within two hours.

Small country. Big backlot.

Alps, lakes, vineyards, caves, forests and a sea, all within two hours of our office. Fewer travel days, more shooting days. And if the script says Italy, Austria or “somewhere Mediterranean”, there is usually a corner of Slovenia that can play the part.
