Number of people allowed on set – up to 10
Travel restrictions – suspension of direct flights for non-nationals.
As per most European countries, they wear masks; allow for temperature checks, and health and safety is now mandatory on site. Foreigners can come in if they have had a negative test in their country. All of the health measures have been implemented into law, which makes a big difference in trust for companies in Romania. The biggest challenge is wardrobe, as shops are not open, warehouses are sporadically open. Choosing talent takes longer to account for this. Attendance is still sporadic which means clients and agencies remain remote. Romania is an attractive country for shooting due to its architecture, UNESCO sites and ethnic diversity.
