Production Assistants
Bilingual PAs and runners supporting international productions at Paris studios and across all French regions.
Production assistants in France serve as the bilingual bridge between international production teams and local French operations. They navigate Parisian logistics, communicate with French vendors and authorities, and provide the on-the-ground support that international crews need to operate efficiently in France's specific production culture. French PAs understand local working protocols, labor regulations, and the practical details of shooting across Paris and the regions.
Our network includes reliable, bilingual PAs experienced on features at La Cité du Cinéma and Bry-sur-Marne, commercials across Paris and Provence, and series shooting throughout France. They bring professionalism, local knowledge, and the bilingual communication skills essential for international productions using the TRIP rebate.
