Your single point of contact
Whatever your production needs in the Netherlands, you start in one place. We're your single point of contact for financing, locations, permits, crew, studios and Dutch partners. One email or one call, and we connect you to the rest.
Think of us as part of your team. No two productions are the same, so you won't get one size fits all answers from us. Tell us what you're developing and where you are in the process, and we give you advice built around your project. Financing, production, locations, crew. We've spent more than 15 years on international film sets, so we know how a shoot actually comes together, and we can be your boots on the ground in the Netherlands, handling the local production needs and helping you create a plan that holds up on paper and on shoot.
We work hand in hand with the regional film commissions across the country, so wherever you want to shoot, someone knows it inside out. That means real knowledge of every city, village and stretch of coast. From Rotterdam's skyline to the windmills at Kinderdijk, you get people who know the place.
For some productions we go a step further and put our own time and resources in. If your plan is concrete, we help you map locations, financing and prodcution, before you commit. It's a real head start, and for the right project it's on us.
Bringing key crew from abroad? We help you sort visas so the right people get here without a headache. We point you to what you need, who to talk to and how long it usually takes. You'll find the work permit details below. The Netherlands Film Commissioner can assist you with the application of any visa or permit you need for filming in the Netherlands.
Wondering who made the hairy leg on The Secret Agent so hairy? And did you hear iHostage wasn’t actually filmed in a bustling street? The Netherlands is home to award winning, multi-talented and multi lingual top notch casts, crews, studios and production companies.
On the hunt for the legendary Dutch light? Looking for a medieval decor or shooting a sea that isn’t really a sea? The Netherlands Film Commission advises on the best Dutch locations.
Between the 35% cash rebate and the multiple selective routes for international productions, The Netherlands Film Commission will help international projects, big or small, fiction or documentary, to find the funding that fits.
