BUCH MICH: Your expert film production management for seamless productions

BUCH MICH GmbH helps producers professionally manage the time-consuming aspects of film production management by handling all payroll and administrative tasks for your production.

Smaller and medium-sized production companies in particular often face unique challenges in this regard: limited capacity, a lack of specialized staff, and complex, time-consuming accounting issues, such as the application of the TV FFS.

We ensure that your project is implemented smoothly from an administrative standpoint—without you having to hire your own film production manager. By taking on labor-intensive management tasks, we free you up so that you can focus on the challenges that arise during the hectic shooting period.

With us as your partner, you gain 25 years of industry expertise in human resources—combined with a passion for the field and the necessary sensitivity to the needs of both employees and clients.

Benefits for You as a Client

• Continuity instead of project-based engagement: While traditional film production management operates on a project-by-project basis and leaves the company upon completion, we remain at your side as a long-term partner even after the project ends—including for follow-up questions and subsequent processing.

• Overcoming the skills shortage: Qualified personnel for film production management are often hard to find—with us, you have immediate access to expert support in human resources.

• Flexible booking: Our services adapt to your needs—from one-time support to long-term partnerships.

• Comprehensive administrative services: We ensure that recorded working hours are collected on time and coordinate them with you. We also handle payroll processing, reporting requirements, social security assessments, contract management, and certification on your behalf. We can also manage travel expense reporting with your employees.

• Robust infrastructure: Thanks to modern software, an experienced team, and in-depth expertise, we can flexibly join projects at any time—regardless of size and scope. We also hold our own DATEV license.

• Transparent and predictable costs: You receive clear breakdowns of fees in accordance with the TV FFS collective bargaining agreement and payroll expenses. You also benefit from predictable and transparent services.

• Outsourced audit risk: In the event of a subsequent audit, e.g., by the pension insurance agency, this is conducted at BUCH MICH GmbH. All personnel matters are handled through our employer identification number.

• Record maintenance and storage: We create, maintain, and archive all relevant documents in an audit-proof manner.

Reliable support for your production

We take over labor-intensive core administrative tasks for you, ensure accurate and timely payroll processing, and thus contribute to the satisfaction of your employees.

With BUCH MICH, you gain an experienced and reliable partner who relieves your production team of administrative burdens and gives you the freedom you need to make creative and organizational decisions.
