ABOUT US
PRODUCTION
888 films is a production company stationed in Los Angeles and Novi Sad, Serbia that produces original content for both US and European market, while they are offering high quality service production for large scale and independent production projects that want their film shot in Serbia.
We produce projects that have a social impact and were rewarded with the Award for Social Activism in Film and are attendees of Cinema for Peace Foundation’s events, along with people like Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and personalities such as the Dalai Lama, Muhammad Ali and the former Honorary Patron Nelson Mandela. In Europe, our projects were part of IDFA Academy, Beldocs, DOC Lisboa, Docudays UA, Sarajevo Film Festival and many others.
WHO ARE WE?

She is passionate in helping up-and-coming producers from the USA shoot their projects and films in Serbia and get much higher artistic and production value of the film, so they can return their investment and earn much more money, than they would if they shoot it somewhere else.

BUDGET CUT
How to get the best product EVER for the budget that you have?
Serbia has up to 20% lower prices than any other EU country, while having 25-30% cash rebate. However, low price can sometimes mean really bad quality and that is something we don't play with. We take our biggest pride in our original content, which is why we would rather say “no” to the service production that can not match our quality standards. Since art and production value mean world to us, we will make sure our number 1 priority is to get the most that we can for the money you are investing, so that your film of 2, 5, 10 million dollars, looks like its budget was at least twice that number.
25 % and 30% CASH REBATE:
The program provides a 25% cash rebate on qualified Serbian spend for feature films, TV series, animation films and visual effects, TV commercials and ocumentaries, and 30% cash rebate on qualified Serbian spend for feature films whose budget is minimum 5.000.000 EUR for feature films, TV series, animation films and visual effects, TV commercials and documentaries.
Minimum Local Costs:
1) Feature films, TV films and TV series: 300.000 EUR (~$350.000), with 100.000 EUR minimum per episode for TV series
2) Animated film, audio and/or visual post-production: 150.000 EUR (~$170.000)
