This is the kind of flexibility we have become known for.”
Oscar-nominated costume designer Jenny Beavan praises her Hungarian team: “It was my first experience working in Hungary, and with [wardrobe supervisor] Zsoka Hoka. I think the resulting costumes speak for themselves.” The Czech Republic is also “financially reasonable” in comparison to other filmmaking hubs in Europe, says Pavlína Žipková of the Czech Film Commission, mentioning the “the big three”: creativity, infrastructure and production incentives. But in order to attract highprofile collaborators, local crews need to think outside of the box.

After all, you’re not playing it, you’re watching it. And although a lot of people do like to watch gameplay, it needs to be a little more focused and purposeful when we’re putting it on TV.”
