Best Video Production Companies in Prague (2026)

Introduction

Prague has one of Europe’s busiest production communities, and the 10 companies below cover both sides of it: local shops that make commercials for Czech brands, and service producers that host foreign commercial, music video and feature shoots.

The service side is large. The Czech Film Commission puts inward investment from film and television productions at around EUR 381 million in 2025, with Prague by far the most-used location. Stillking, Czech Anglo Productions and Milk & Honey Pictures all serviced international features or series in 2024 and 2025, and several of the same teams run commercials units alongside. On the local side, Czech banks, telecoms, retailers and drinks brands keep a steady flow of spots going, and the April 2026 ADC Czech Creative Awards gave five craft and format awards to a single Bistro Films production for Paměť národa.

Every company here has a working Prague office or studio in 2026. The list is unranked: a foreign agency bringing its own director needs something different from a Czech brand looking for a director and a full crew.

The best video production companies in Prague

1. Stillking Films

International production group · Barrandov · stillking.com

Stillking has worked out of Barrandov Studios for more than 25 years and now runs offices in Prague, London, Budapest, Bucharest and Cape Town. The Prague operation is split into a short-form unit for commercials and music videos, led by head of commercials Michal Skop, and a film and television arm. The Czech Film Commission lists Stillking as the service company on Resident Evil, Netflix’s The Age of Innocence and the Czech episode of The Rookie in 2025.

On the commercials side its credits include Hennessy X.O “The Seven Worlds” directed by Ridley Scott, GE “Beautiful Law” with Anonymous Content, and ServiceNow “Wonka” with Rattling Stick. LBB lists 2025 production service work on Lizzo’s “Still Bad” and “Love in Real Life” videos. It suits large international shoots that need studio space and deep crew lists.

2. Unit+Sofa

Independent · Staré Město · unitsofa.com

Unit+Sofa is a production service company based on Salvátorská in Prague 1, filming across the Czech Republic and in Austria, Germany and Slovakia. It is run by managing director and executive producer Fady Salamé with executive producers Martin Sobotka and Vero Hájková, and has a separate films arm, U+S Films, with partner Jan Hlavsa.

Its partner list reads like a who’s who of international commercials companies, including MJZ, Smuggler, Somesuch and Pretty Bird. It is a natural fit for agencies and production companies that bring their own director and want a Prague team to handle bidding, locations, crew and the shoot itself.

3. Bistro Films

Independent · Nové Město · bistrofilms.com

Bistro Films is a boutique, director-led commercials company at Biskupský dvůr in Prague 1, run by founder Jiří Ptáček and partner Pavel Prejda for just over two decades. At the ADC Czech Creative Awards in April 2026, its film for Paměť národa with OAK Prague took gold for Direction, Cinematography and Sound Design plus two silvers. In 2025 it won gold for Cinematography with “Novellista” for Givet.

The client list is mostly the big Czech and Slovak brands: Česká spořitelna and Erste, Slovenská sporiteľňa, Pilsner Urquell, Kozel, Škoda Auto, O2, T-Mobile and Albert. Marek Partyš is the most frequently credited director on its reel. Bistro describes its job as developing and representing directors, so expect the conversation to start with who should shoot the work.

4. Milk & Honey Pictures

Independent · Malá Strana · milkandhoney.productions

Milk & Honey Pictures has offered production services in Prague for around 30 years, from an office on Josefská in Malá Strana. Managing director Radomír Dočekal runs the Prague team, and managing partner Tomáš Krejčí is based in Los Angeles. The company says it has worked across both European and US markets.

Its feature and series credits include seasons two and three of Apple TV’s Foundation and Netflix’s Suburban Screams. Commercial clients have included Suave, Philips, Benetton and Kohler. It offers access to large Czech sound stages, which matters for shoots that need controlled builds.

5. Czech Anglo Productions

Independent · Barrandov · czechangloproductions.cz

Czech Anglo Productions is a full-service production and co-production company based at Barrandov, led by producers Kevan Van Thompson, Václav Mottl and Pavel Nový. It handles scheduling and budgeting, location work in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, crew, and the Czech tax rebate process from application through audit. A sister company, Czech Anglo Pictures, co-produces.

Recent credits include Ballerina (2025), The Crow (2024), The Lazarus Project, A Boy Called Christmas and Jojo Rabbit. Production Service Network lists its Czech partner at the same Barrandov address with the same features, alongside commercials for Sony Bravia, HP and Upwork. It is a good first call for productions that need the rebate handled properly.

6. Filmservice

Independent · Nové Město · filmservice.com

Filmservice produces TV commercials, stills and digital content from Ostrovní in Prague 1, with a second base in Bratislava. Executive producers and managing partners Jakub Kolín and Karel Pavlovský run the company, which offers both full production with creative development and production-only services for foreign crews.

Its in-house tabletop unit, Kitchen, is led by director and DOP Martin Douba, with motion control and a workshop of riggers and model makers for food and drink work. Recent brands on its site include Kofola, McDonald’s, L’OR, BNP Paribas and ORLEN, and it lists Ogilvy, Publicis and TBWA among its Czech agency partners.

7. Stink Films Prague

Part of Stink · Prague · stink.co

Stink opened its Prague office in 2016 to produce commercials, develop local directing talent and work with Czech agencies directly, as well as servicing the wider Stink network. It now makes work for Czech and international brands from Prague.

Recent projects include Rohlík.cz “Mámy” directed by Maca Rubio with B&T, and Peroni Nastro Azzurro, which both took silver for Direction at the 2025 ADC Czech Creative Awards, plus a Cinematography silver for Laformela. It suits brands that want a network director roster with a local production team.

8. Pavleye Artist Management and Production

Independent · Nové Město · pavleye.com

Pavleye is a full-service production company and artist agency founded by producer Jozef Pavleye, based at Biskupský dvůr in Prague 1. It services international clients, represents photographers and directors, and produces film, stills and VR and 360 content.

The client list leans towards automotive and fashion: many Škoda campaigns (including Enyaq, Kodiaq and Kamiq), Audi with Real Madrid, Kia, Harley-Davidson, Tag Heuer, Miu Miu and editions of Vogue. Its mix of motion and stills suits shoots that need both from one crew.

9. simple film

Independent · Braník · simplefilm.tv

simple film is a production services company in Braník, Prague 4, founded by managing director Marek Viktora. He spent 25 years in advertising before starting it, as head of TV at an agency and then as executive producer at several larger production companies.

The company handles research, budgeting, location scouting, casting, scheduling, crew, the shoot and post-production, and takes on projects of any size. Its pitch is efficiency: keeping quality high while holding costs down, which makes it worth a call for mid-sized international jobs.

10. Markusfilm

Independent · Holešovice · markusfilm.com

Markusfilm has made video for more than 15 years from a studio on Jankovcova in Holešovice, with a second studio in Prague 6. It covers video ads, product videos, music videos, animation and live streaming, from concept and script to casting, filming, editing and effects. It also rents equipment and runs its own casting database.

Clients include Siemens, České dráhy, Pepsi, Albi, Dopravní podnik Praha and Makro. It is a practical choice for brand, product and corporate work at smaller budgets than the service houses above.

What to look for in a Prague video production company

Decide first whether you need a production company or a production service company. Firms such as Bistro Films and Stink Films Prague bring directors and creative input. Unit+Sofa, Czech Anglo Productions and simple film mostly host a production whose director and creative lead come from elsewhere. Several firms do both, so ask which way your job would run.

For foreign shoots, ask about the Czech incentive programme early. Rebate rules, eligible spend and audit timelines shape the budget, and companies that handle the rebate in-house (Czech Anglo lists the whole process from application to audit) save a lot of paperwork. Ask too whether the crew you would get has worked recently on features or episodic, since Barrandov’s big productions can tie up heads of department for months.

Look at recent local craft recognition. The ADC Czech Creative Awards break out direction, cinematography, sound and production design, which gives a useful view of who did the craft work on a campaign. Ask for the names of the producer and line producer who would run your shoot, not only the company reel.

Finally, agree how footage and feedback will move between Prague and your office. Rushes, proxies and offline cuts often travel across borders and time zones, and review rounds can slip when notes arrive by email against the wrong version. A shared place for cuts, with comments tied to timecode, keeps the edit moving.

How Fabric helps video production teams

Fabric gives a production company one workspace for treatments, rushes, cuts and client feedback, with AI search across all of it. The setup for commercials teams is built around that pattern: one space per job, with the brief, treatment, call sheets, location stills and edits kept together.

Large media sits in Fabric’s cloud drive, which streams files on demand so they take no local disk space, and heavy video files open without a full download. That suits a proxy workflow, where editors in Prague and producers abroad work from the same folder. Search works by meaning across documents, images and transcribed audio and video, so a line from a casting tape or an interview jumps straight to its timestamp. Similar search finds location stills or references close to one you already have.

Client review works through sharing. Share a cut or a folder with the agency or brand as a commenter; the link works without sign-up. Commenters can leave timestamped comments on video and audio, draw on a video frame and attach a comment to the drawing, and draw on images such as storyboards or location stills. The production team marks each comment completed as it is dealt with, so the notes work like a checklist. There is more on this in collaborating on a video project remotely.

For finished work, any file or folder can be published as a web page for view-only delivery, with password protection. Link analytics shows when each named recipient opened a treatment or bid and how long they spent with it. Treatments and moodboards can be built on Canvas, which embeds YouTube and Vimeo references.

Password protection and link analytics are included on Pro and Team plans. See plans for teams.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best video production company in Prague?

It depends on the job. For large international commercials and features, Stillking, Czech Anglo Productions and Milk & Honey Pictures have the longest service records. For director-led Czech commercials, Bistro Films’ film for Paměť národa won five awards at the 2026 ADC Czech Creative Awards, including three golds for craft.

What is a production service company?

A production service company hosts a shoot for a production company or agency from another country. It handles budgeting, locations, permits, crew, equipment and local paperwork, while the director and creative lead come with the client. Unit+Sofa and simple film are examples on this list.

Which Prague production companies are based at Barrandov?

Stillking Films and Czech Anglo Productions both list addresses at Barrandov Studios in Prague 5. Most commercials companies on this list work from offices in central Prague, mainly Nové Město, Staré Město and Malá Strana, and hire studio space as each job needs it.

Do Prague production companies handle the Czech film incentive?

Many do. Czech Anglo Productions lists rebate management from application through audit as a core service, and the larger service houses deal with it routinely. Confirm eligibility and timing with the company and the Czech Film Commission before locking a budget.
