LBB> What’s the story behind your name?

Hrvoje> The name "Light Film" reflects our ethos—clear, simple, and effective. Just like light is essential in filmmaking, we want to provide the light that guides productions through all stages of production, from pre-planning to wrapping up on set. We believe in keeping things transparent and making it as easy as possible for our clients to work with us.

LBB> Tell us about three campaigns that epitomise what you do as a company?

Hrvoje> Bertolli Olive Oil Commercial (Croatia): For this Italian brand, we filmed in the picturesque town of Rovinj, Croatia. We replicated the Italian vibe beautifully, thanks to Croatia’s versatility, showcasing its stunning coastal beauty while tapping into the region's rich culture. This project was a perfect example of how Light Film can adapt diverse locations to fit a brand’s narrative, whether it's doubling for Italy or showcasing Croatia's authenticity.

Viator - Roman Arena in Pula (Croatia): This campaign took us to one of the best-preserved ancient Roman sites in Europe—the Arena in Pula. The scale of this location added incredible drama to the shoot, and we combined that with international talent, sourced through Italy’s top casting agencies. The result was a commercial that highlighted the fusion of Croatia’s historical beauty with international production expertise.

National Geographic - Uncharted with Gordon Ramsay (Istria, Croatia): For Uncharted with Gordon Ramsay, we provided production services in Istria, handling location scouting, logistics, and on-ground support. Filming in this stunning region, known for its rich culinary traditions and breathtaking landscapes, allowed us to showcase Istria’s unique appeal to a global audience. This project highlighted Light Film’s ability to facilitate world-class productions in Croatia, ensuring smooth operations while capturing the raw beauty and authenticity of the location.

We Make Croatia Look Like Anywhere – Need a medieval European village, a rugged Wild West landscape, or a futuristic sci-fi backdrop? We’ve turned Croatia into Italy, Spain, and even uncharted fantasy worlds—all with the right locations and cinematic magic.

LBB> What are your strongest opinions relating to your specific field?

Hrvoje> One of the strongest opinions we hold is that location is everything—but great service makes a location exceptional. It’s not just about finding a stunning backdrop; it’s about creating an experience where everything from logistics to crew coordination runs smoothly. When you bring the right people, equipment, and expertise to a location, the magic happens.

LBB> What are you proudest of as a company?

Hrvoje> We’re most proud of the lasting relationships we’ve built with both international clients and local production communities. We’ve worked with huge brands like Disney, NBA, Coca Cola and National Geographic, but what truly sets us apart is our ability to adapt and respond to the unique needs of every client. It’s not just about executing a project; it’s about understanding what makes each production unique and delivering that experience.

Also, our team's dedication to always pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the regions we work in. Whether it’s scouting new locations, leveraging fresh incentives, or collaborating on creative solutions, we’re always evolving to stay ahead of the curve.

LBB> What are some upcoming projects our readers need to keep an eye out for?

Hrvoje> We’re currently working on projects across multiple platforms. Our team is deep into game development, crafting exciting interactive experiences that push the boundaries of storytelling and technology. At the same time, we’re developing a major VR project, bringing immersive virtual worlds to life in ways that redefine audience engagement.

On the production side, we’re preparing several production services, supporting international clients with commercials, documentaries, and scripted content across Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia.
