MM productions has years of experience collaborating with some of the top directors in the field, capable of artistically reaching the viewer in sensitive and unique ways. The director is arguably the most important position in a video production and acts as the technical and artistic working manager, selecting appropriate professionals, directing actors, coordinating the set and insuring that all staff members are giving their best. The director is considered the only and final author of a production and therefore must be carefully selected. The perfect director for a perfume spot will not be the best candidate to make a commercial advertising a car. MM will help you select the perfect director for your project.

Art buyer
MM handles all aspects of art buying for its clients. The art buyer is an essential figure in the world of production. Initially a professional position in advertising agencies, an art buyer finds and manages all physical aspects of an advertising campaign, including people, testimonials, materials, photos and locations.
Today, an art buyer, with a keen understanding of exactly what a project requires, searches globally for the ideal professionals and materials and insures that expenses remain within a client’s budget. An art buyer handles all activities related to goods and services, including the negotiation and conditions for purchases, and guarantees the availability and on-time delivery of materials and products, as well as the expertise and the quality of the professionals and services employed. The art buyer works closely with the production manager to verify the overall compliance of the procurement plan with production requirements.
Producer
The producer organizes and manages everything that happens on a photo or video set or at an event, including the scheduling of appointments, the management of transfers, the coordination of people and the overall management of the budget throughout the production process.
MM’s multilingual producers, available 24 hours a day, are the first to arrive and the last to leave and are always ready to solve any emergency. Hired for their field experience, each of our producers has successfully completed hundreds of projects in difficult situations in locations as diverse and challenging as the Dolomites to volcanoes and from the Sardinian Sea to Puglia.
Location manager
A location manager is responsible for researching, photographing and obtaining permissions for any location, be it public or private, for your production or event. Our location managers prepare contracts for location owners and for temporary tenants while also managing all check-in and check-out procedures, guaranteeing that everything is in order and that no damages have been incurred.
Costume designer / Stylist
A costume designer or stylist researches, finds and rents or buys the very best clothing and accessories to create the perfect look. Finding the right style and tailored fit for a specific actor or model requires a highly-skilled eye and a sensitive attention to detail.
