Production Assistants
Reliable PAs and runners keeping your Polish production running smoothly from Warsaw to Kraków.
Film production in Poland demands PAs who understand the local environment — from navigating Warsaw's production infrastructure to coordinating logistics in Kraków and beyond. Our production assistants know the vendors, the routes, and the protocols that keep Polish shoots running on schedule. They handle everything from distributing call sheets and managing equipment to coordinating extras and running errands across the country.
We connect you with dependable production assistants through NeedAFixer's Poland network. Our PAs bring hands-on experience from features, commercials, and series shot across Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, and beyond. Each PA arrives ready to support your crew with local knowledge, professional discipline, and the energy that long shooting days demand.

PA Department Expertise
What do production assistants do on a Polish set?
PAs provide essential support across all aspects of production — from set lockups and talent escort to equipment handling and office administration. In Poland, they also help navigate local logistics, vendor relationships, and location-specific requirements that international crews may not be familiar with.
Do your PAs speak English?
Yes, we provide bilingual PAs fluent in both English and Polish for international productions. They communicate effectively with your crew while navigating local vendors, authorities, and situations that require Polish language skills.
What are typical working hours for PAs in Poland?
Shooting days in Poland typically run 10-12 hours following EU working time directives. Overtime and weekend rates are regulated. Heritage site shoots in Kraków and Warsaw have specific time windows and crew size limits.
How quickly can you staff PAs?
For planned productions, we recommend booking 1-2 weeks ahead. However, we maintain relationships with reliable PAs across Poland for last-minute needs and can often staff additional positions with 24-48 hours notice.
Do you provide overnight or weekend PAs?
Yes, we staff PAs for all schedules including overnight shoots, weekend work, and split days. Polish labor regulations follow EU working time directives with structured rest periods. The film industry benefits from PISF support and competitive crew rates.
What experience do your PAs have?
Our PA roster ranges from entry-level professionals eager to learn to experienced PAs with multiple feature credits on Polish productions. We match experience levels to your needs — key positions get experienced PAs while general support can develop newer talent.
