IF YOU WANNA PARTNER THE MARTINI SHOT - YOU HAVE TO KNOW THIS :)
LAUNCH STAGE
WHAT WE EXPECT FROM A PARTNER BEFORE THE LAUNCH OF TMS GREECE
1. BUDGETING info and masterclass – We need a meeting regarding the cost estimate to run through each item. We should discuss how everything is calculated and done, how things work in reality, what and how can be squeezed, what restrictions apply, and any nuances. After this masterclass meeting, we’ll need to prepare a couple of test estimates for you to review to ensure we understood everything correctly.
2. CREW – We’ll need to go through crew names and create a crew list, marking who’s top, who’s second rank, who’s a NO, and any comments or hints about working with certain people based on your experience.
3. NEW BIZ MATERIALS – We will need help finalizing presentations for sales. We have one for the company, but we need assistance with information about Greece to add those extra slides.
4. DATABASE – We will need a location database, casting database, studio photos/info/sizes, and key HODs showreels. Fast and easy access to this information is essential to deliver materials quickly to the Client when needed.

BIDDING STAGE
WHAT WE EXPECT FROM A PARTNER AT THE PITCH STAGE
- BUDGETING SUPPORT – We will budget pitches by ourselves, but we will have many questions and consultations, requiring prompt responses and advice from you regarding departments (art, style, etc.), prices, logistics, country facilities, and possibilities. When information from HODs is needed at the bidding stage, we will address requests to you rather than contacting the crew directly, so you can reach out to Greek crew members on our behalf.
- DATABASE – As mentioned in the launch block, we need a location and casting database with references. If the provided information is insufficient for a specific pitch, we will contact you to obtain the necessary materials from your casting directors or location managers to ensure we deliver the best possible materials to win the pitch.
PRODUCTION STAGE
WHAT WE EXPECT FROM A PARTNER AT THE PROJECT STAGE
Filmiki team is generally responsible for the entire production process organization – forming the team for the job, selecting the best HODs and other crew members, negotiating prices, and making deals on fees and financial conditions with crews, rentals, and studios to reduce costs, ensuring that we all earn more in the end.
Communication with the crews during pre-production will depend on the actual mix between Filmiki and Martini crews (who comes from each side) on each specific project and will be discussed at the start of the job or during the bidding stage.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT US
- we are super efficient and in touch really almost 24/7 and it is very difficult for us to work with those who don’t respond quickly, it destroys our system. We are used to processing everything instantly and we value relationships with those who are at our tempo-rhythm and are also always in touch regardless of the day of the week or time in the day ( but, of course, we also sometimes sleep.))
- we are terrible perfectionists and despite the fact that in some situations this may be considered a disadvantage, we turn it into a virtue)) thanks to this, our clients fall in love with us even at the tender stage.
- we really like clarity and structure - this applies to both - people and processes. We have no bureaucracy, but all processes are built according to a well-established scheme, there are multi-page guides for each position, which are strictly performed by all members of the TMS team.
- we are extremely meticulous and client oriented.
- we try to foresee everything as much as possible and talk with crew during pitches, so we will write and ask a lot at pitches stage.
- unfortunately, we live in a world where clients most often send a tender on Friday evening and expect a response as early as Sunday or Monday. We try not to refuse them if we have a resource, so we сan call and write in the evening, on weekends and holidays, etc.
- sometimes we ask too many questions, because it is important for us to understand everything ourselves.
- during projects, we take care of clients with great attention.
- we strictly fulfill all obligations to crew and all suppliers.
