Complete Line Production and Production Execution Services in Greece

Creating and delivering an audiovisual project — whether it is a feature-length fiction film, a TV series, a documentary or an advertising campaign — requires more than simple management.

It requires methodology, knowledge of the local and international market, and uncompromising organizational and administrative management.

01 — Our Role

The core axis of execution for every production

At Full Time Productions, we take on the role of line producer for every local or international production that chooses Greece as its audiovisual production field.

The line producer is the person who turns the creative plan into a workable production schedule, cost plan and team. From the first analysis of the script's needs to the last day of shooting, and through to the completion and delivery of the project and its final financial report, we are the bridge between the producer, the director, the financiers and the Greek ecosystem.

Under the direction and coordination of producer Maria Marouda, our team brings a long and proven track record in film, television and advertising projects.

We bridge the director's artistic vision with the practical and time-related parameters of bringing it to reality. FULL TIME PRODUCTIONS OPERATING PRINCIPLE

We make sure that every stage of production is carried out efficiently, within the basic schedule and the available budget — with a transparency that allows every collaborating crew member and partner to know, at any moment, what phase the project is in.

03 — How We Work

From the first contact to the final report, in five stages

Every production is different, but our methodology remains stable, flexible and easily adaptable.

STAGE 01

Before and after the start of the collaboration

Before the start

We get informed about all the details of your production project — which you want to carry out in Greece — and, depending on the production phase, we aim to assist you in the shortest possible time.

After the start

After the agreed start of our collaboration, we begin our own pre-work, research and search to handle all the basic and necessary needs of your project — within the time frame in which all the mandatory institutional actions must be completed, so that the specific shoots are secured.

STAGE 02

Analysis and Budget

We study the script and the creative plan, shape the budget and the first basic schedule, and check the available incentives.

STAGE 03

Pre-production

We begin our own necessary research to find physical locations that match the script, coordinate contacts for mandatory permits, and at the same time take care of the staffing and availability of crew members, the collaboration contracts, the procurements, the sponsorship facilities and the creation of the full detailed shooting schedule.

STAGE 04

Shooting

We coordinate the set daily, manage logistics, and keep continuous real-time control of the cost of each shoot — based on the planned budget — ensuring the smooth running of the project being produced and the immediate resolution of any problems.

STAGE 05

Completion and Final Report

We deliver the completed material, close the collaboration, rental and venue and equipment usage contracts, and provide the final financial report and documentation for incentives and financiers.
