Production Assistants
Reliable PAs and runners keeping your Belgian production running smoothly from Brussels to Antwerp.
Here is how this works in practice. Film production in Belgium demands PAs who know the local environment — from handling Brussels's production infrastructure to setting up logistics in Antwerp and beyond. Our production assistants know the vendors, the routes, and the protocols that keep Belgian shoots running on schedule. They handle everything from distributing call sheets and managing gear to setting up extras and running errands across the country.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with dependable production assistants through NeedAFixer's Belgium network. Our PAs bring hands-on experience from features, commercials, and series shot across Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, and beyond. Each PA arrives ready to support your crew with local knowledge, pro discipline, and the energy that long shooting days demand.

When plans change — and they always do — our PAs solve problems on the fly. Whether it's sourcing a last-minute prop, finding an alternative route, or handling an unexpected vendor issue, they keep your Belgian production moving.
On Location
Belgian production assistants provide the reliable on-set and office support that keeps a shoot moving, working fluently across Dutch, French and English.
We supply production assistants and runners for shoots in Belgium — set PAs who handle lock-ups, crowd control, talent escort and general floor support. Office PAs who keep the production office running. And runners and drivers who manage pickups, deliveries and errands. Our team places PAs who know the local vendors and the routes between Belgian cities, who arrive prepared and pro, and who solve problems on the fly when plans change. They work fluently in Dutch, French and English, a key skill on Belgium's bilingual sets, and they know EU working-time rules and the practical rhythm of a shooting day. PAs are the connective tissue of a production. Ours keep global and local crew working smoothly together.
Here is what we have to work with. Belgium's PA pool is fed by the country's film schools. INSAS and RITCS in Brussels, the LUCA School of Arts and KASK in Ghent — and by the steady volume of work the Tax Shelter brings. This gives even junior crew real experience early. Production assistants here support both homegrown films competing for the Magritte and Ensor awards and the global features and series that finish through the Tax Shelter. The country's compact geography means a PA can run between Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent in a single day, and the three-language structure is something Belgian PAs handle as routine. We match each production assistant to the department, languages and experience level the production needs.

FAQ
PA Department Expertise
What do production assistants do on a Belgian set?
Here is the breakdown. PAs give key support across all aspects of production — from set lockups and talent escort to gear handling and office admin. In Belgium, they also help handle local logistics, vendor relationships, and location-specific needs that global crews may not be familiar with.
Do your PAs speak English?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Yes, we give bilingual PAs fluent in both English and French and Dutch for global shoots. They communicate effectively with your crew while handling local vendors, authorities, and situations that need French and Dutch language skills.
What are typical working hours for PAs in Belgium?
Shooting days in Belgium mostly follow EU working time directives with 10-12 hour days, required rest periods, and late hours premiums for extended hours, weekends, and holidays.
How quickly can you staff PAs?
For planned shoots, we recommend booking 1-2 weeks ahead. However, we keep relationships with reliable PAs across Belgium for last-minute needs and can often staff extra positions with 24-48 hours notice.
Do you provide overnight or weekend PAs?
Yes, we staff PAs for all schedules including all-night shoots, weekend work, and split days. Belgian labor law gives strong worker protections with mandated rest periods and late hours rules under national collective agreements.
What experience do your PAs have?
Here is how the picture comes together. Our PA roster ranges from entry-level pros eager to learn to skilled PAs with many feature credits on Belgian shoots. We match experience levels to your needs — key positions get skilled PAs while general support can develop newer talent.
