Talent Coordination

Here is how this works in practice. Talent planning on a French shoot is the layer where global cast either feels held or feels managed at a distance. Our talent coordinators run the French side from start to finish. CDG and Orly arrivals, TGV connections to Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Lille, hotel and apartment blocks near stages at La Cité du Cinéma or location bases on the Côte d'Azur, ground transport, principal escort, and the daily back-and-forth between agents, the production office, and the 2nd AD. They work bilingually by default and they hold the relationships that move fast when an itinerary breaks at 11pm.

Here is the short of it. They also stay inside the regulatory frame the rest of the production sits in. Convention Collective production audiovisuelle hours for cast working under French contract, intermittents du spectacle deal memos when applicable, Code du travail rest periods between calls, and the bilingual forms that the production manager needs for any TRIP or CNC qualifying-spend audit. The promise is that the cast arrive on time, briefed, and rested, and that nothing about French labour, urssaf, or French production insurance is being learnt on your shoot.
