Globalization forges ahead and thus, the demand for overseas film production has increased considerably. But such a production in a foreign country has challenges that require creative and, above all, efficient solutions.

The flight to the destination, immigration and customs regulations, specific cultural and regional codes of conduct and finally, the personal safety of the production team, necessitate intensive planning and detailed knowledge in many areas. In the process, one always has to keep an eye on costs in order to utilize the budget efficiently and use as much of the total production costs as possible to actually get the images for the film.
Therefore, with CUGA we established a production unit specifically suited to meet these requirements. Film production worldwide – and this with a lean, efficient and thus cost-saving organisation.

All members of CUGA can rely on extensive overseas experience, travelling in a private as well as a business capacity. We already filmed in Africa, Asia and Europe, and every new project adds to this pool of knowledge. Our options of deployment are hardly limited. Foremost, CUGA is a completely self-sufficient production unit not only able to shoot high definition movies anywhere on the planet, but also to preview, edit and enhance the footage and ultimately publish the finished films via satellite communications.
Our special competencies can also be incorporated into bigger productions, using CUGA for on-location research and scouting and production management overseas to just name a few possibilities.

CUGA is a special product of FirstGrade Studios, and thus can rely on the resources of an established production company. With CUGA, we specifically fulfil the needs and requirements of clients who want to portray their projects abroad in a highly qualitative and artistically sophisticated way. Here, our small, flexible and highly specialized team sets new standards for production.
