"I had a wonderful time working and living in the Czech Republic. I often miss living in Prague. The city itself is inspiring. The crew, from the drivers to the camera department, is world class and enthusiastic. We built an enormous amount of sets, including a large backlot set of a Northern German city, a Transylvanian village on location, and a schooner interior – the craftsmanship and finishes were always impeccable. I would highly recommend shooting in Prague to any filmmaker and I look forward to making another film there myself."

Robert Eggers, director

„When we were in Prague, we just had the most amazing crew who loved Johan and were so excited about what we were doing. And so we did feel like it was the coolest, the nicest community.“

CM

Carey Mulligan, actress

"The Czech crew made a great impression on director Edward Berger, German line producer Mark Nolting, and me, both during filming and in post-production. Czech crews are known worldwide for their excellence and have worked on many high-profile projects, so I was confident that the collaboration would be smooth, which was once again confirmed during our shoot."

MG

Malte Grunert, producer

"Visiting Prague is incredible, but filming here is even better. The crews and studios are world-class, the locations are breathtaking in their scope, quantity, and appearance, and the warmth, directness, and hospitality of the crew made us feel right at home."

PN

Patrick Newall, executive producer

"Fantastic crews and great locations in the heart of Europe make filming in the Czech Republic an obvious choice."

MK

Marigo Kehoe, executive producer

"The locations here are stunning - both in the cities and out in the countryside. Prague also has an incredible treasure in its crews - they're some of the most skilled craftspeople I've ever worked with."

David S. Goyer, showrunner of the second season of Foundation
