“From the bottom of my heart, please accept my warmest thanks and gratitude for an absolutely brilliant prep and shoot. Working with you all was a complete joy and privilege. Seeing you all bring your absolute 'A' game best to the production inspired me to aim higher every day, too—which we really did!The rushes look fantastic. Everyone here in London is raving about the talent of every department, which is clearly on display. I am super grateful to you all for your daily energy, enthusiasm, and hard work, which have clearly translated onto the screen.This was my first time shooting in Budapest with you all and I absolutely LOVED every moment of it. It is the people we spend our time with who make the work a truly joyous experience and I hope that I am lucky enough to do so again.”

“We’ve just completed shooting a series of TVC’s through Abroad films in Bulgaria. As ever we were presented with a super challenging schedule but I found the support we got on the ground throughout fantastic! In particular the very generous nature of our local team and that when coming up against new problems I found everyone always to be incredibly resourceful. A great experience!”

“Filmmaking in a new city can always be a nerve-wracking endeavour but I knew we’d be ok from our first zoom call with Abroad Films. Their passion and professionalism were infectious throughout the 3 weeks we were in constant contact. So many production companies are purely facilitators, with Abroad films you get a partner just as dedicated to creating something memorable as the directors they work with. We didn’t just work well together, we had fun. We’ll be seeing them again very soon…”

“Dear Abroad Films Team! Thank you so very much for your hard work on The Kill List these past weeks. I think it is clear from the rushes how much effort and dedication every department put into the shoot. I feel very grateful to have worked with you all, and I hope you will be as proud of the end result as I am. Thank you again, and see you on the next one! Alice and 72 Films”

“I found working with Abroad Films to be a very positive experience. They surrounded us with the best crew, we were so well looked after. The operation ran very smoothly and they made what was a pretty tough job to be a much easier one due to their expertise and positive welcoming attitude. I would heartily recommend them.”

“Shooting in Budapest was such a great experience! Both the crew and service company were the perfect partners, giving us professional and quick results, it's certainly one of the best places to shoot. You can feel the traditional cinematographic background within the team. From the art department to the FX team, everyone is always trying to find the best solution. Light and camera equipment are contemporary, functional and ready to shoot from high speed to live-action scenes. Looking forward to coming back to shoot in Budapest ….and be in the spa also.”

“Budapest is called Little Paris for a good reason. I’ve shot here several times in the past and I always had a fantastic experience working with the Hungarian crew, no matter if it’s shooting a car commercial making use of the beautiful city architecture or heading out to the countryside to capture a more adventurous story. Budapest is such a film friendly city it makes me come back, again and again. It’s never a struggle to get access to the good locations and the production crews are always there to support you and put that extra mile in to help you make the project the best it can be. Definitely one of my favourite cities. Can’t wait to come back…”
