Happy Wednesday, Friends!

As many of you already know, Stage 32 Certification has been bringing new film commissions, institutes, colleges, streamers, and other organizations into the mix. This week we’re welcoming the Zagreb Film Office in Croatia to Stage 32 Certification!

The Zagreb Film Office and Stage 32 are excited to partner to bring Certification opportunities to creative professionals in the Zagreb, Croatia area. This is their chance to get certified in multiple production skills so that they can take their careers to the next level, give themselves the tools they need to get jobs in the production industry and get their feet in the door.

But it’s not just a great opportunity for them, it’s an opportunity for ALL of our wonderful members here at Stage 32 (meaning YOU) because Stage 32 Certification is for everyone, everywhere!

Stage 32 Certification is working to train crew all over the world, including partnerships this year in Hawaii, Florida, Texas, Oregon, Nevada, Costa Rica, Uganda, Poland, and many others.

What Is The Zagreb Film Office?

The Zagreb Film Office provides information regarding local resources, to advocate for support and growth of the local industry, and to make it clearly understood that Zagreb is open for business. Global hit TV series like Game of Thrones and huge movies like Star Wars: The Last Jedi have shot there and the local industry is fast on the rise. The film office is ready to assist with your film/TV, commercial, photography, and music needs.

You can learn more about the organization HERE.
