Booking sheet · five things we need

Tell us the deadline
and the territory

We answer every enquiry inside three working days with a plan at 1:40 and a number. If the dates do not work we say so in the first line, not the last.

We keep enquiries for twelve months and then delete them. We do not add anyone to the quarterly letter without being asked.

Getting a built set out of the building

If you are sending a van, these are the numbers that matter. They are stated at 1:1 because a set that is 20 mm too wide is a set that gets cut in half in the corridor.

After you press send

  1. Day 0

    Bartek reads it

    Usually the same afternoon. If the dates are impossible you hear that first, before anything else is discussed.

  2. Day 1–3

    Zofia draws it at 1:40

    A measured set drawing, a lighting plan and the number of sheets. This is free, and it is yours whether or not you book.

  3. Day 3

    A number, broken into parts

    Build days, shoot days, crew, usage. Four lines, no bundled total hiding a mark-up.

  4. Day 4

    Deposit holds the board

    30% books the dates and buys the paper, which is the part that cannot be rushed once the order is in.

Or just come to the door

HALA B,
TYMIENIECKIEGO 22

Knock between 08:00 and 19:00, Tuesday to Saturday. If the loading door is open we are building something, and you are welcome to stand in it.
