The good intentions at the beginning of the year have long been factored into everyday life. A final moral rebellion during Lent has also been ticked off. The tracks for the current year must be laid by Easter at the latest. Project-dependent employees already have a good idea of the films to be made this year. Production companies are already juggling crews and checking locations and funding. Service providers are planning their resources and adjusting to the new cost reality. Only broadcasters and streamers seem to be changing plans at short notice. Projects that were already believed to be certain are being canceled, others are being commissioned - green and gender-fair. Short-term changes are hardly manageable under the general organizational burden. Successful companies define themselves through technological solutions, long-term partnerships and flexible structures.
Long-term partnerships in particular defy all imponderables, even in stormy times. Young companies often score points with innovative ideas. But a second look often reveals the problems of solutions that are not entirely well thought out and have not been tried and tested in everyday life. In the maze of guidelines and specifications that make up German administrative reality, some ideas are simply not feasible. The new guidelines on non-financial documentation obligations in particular are creating new construction sites in newly laid organizational foundations. Service companies are constantly exposed to these challenges and are tried and tested when it comes to solutions. Large, rigidly organized exploitation and production companies in particular therefore like to use medium-sized service providers. Ensider's solution partners offer this promise of quality. The Association of Technical Companies for Film and Television (VTFF) brings together many of these high-quality providers.
Even the most flexible partner appreciates long-term planning. Discussions about new projects, changes in project times or volumes increase the availability of resources and reduce costs. A careful working relationship begins with stable and coordinated communication. Networking events and conferences often provide a way to think outside the box or look beyond current changes. Solutions are found through joint discussions. Exchanging ideas about failed innovations is also important. It usually helps to avoid wrong turns and dead ends in order to benefit from the experiences of others.
Film festivals and industry events, as well as digital platforms, offer excellent opportunities for this. In addition to Ensider.de , Unified Filmmakers and the many professional groups on LinkedIn, regional networks also invite people to exchange ideas. Sometimes, impulses from other industries are more valuable than repeating familiar arguments.
