French Talent and Art Buying
France is not
just a
backdrop.
Brands come to France for the light and the landmarks. They come back for the people. France has one of the deepest pools of creative and technical talent in the world, and at Bloom we know it from the inside.
AGENTS AND TALENT, DIRECT
We have privileged relationships with French talent agencies, and work directly with many directors, DOPs, glam teams (hair, make-up, styling) and production designers. That means straight answers on availability, fair fees, and the right people on your set.
DIRECTORS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS
French directors and photographers shape the look of global campaigns, from luxury to sport. Need a local director, a second unit or a photographer for the stills? We know who’s right for your brief, and who’s available.
ART BUYING
We source and commission French photographers, illustrators, stylists, set designers and artists for your campaign, and negotiate fees and usage rights on your behalf. Local talent, local rates, one point of contact.
HEADS OF DEPARTMENT AND CREWS
Trained on feature films, fashion and high-end commercials, French crews are among the most skilled in the world: DOPs, gaffers, grips, production designers, costume, hair and make-up. Fast, precise, and used to working in English.
CRAFT AND SAVOIR-FAIRE
Set builders, prop makers, couture ateliers, florists, artisans: the craftsmanship behind the French luxury industry is there for your sets too.
POST-PRODUCTION AND VFX
World-class editors, colourists, sound studios and VFX houses. On scripted projects, French VFX spending can also unlock the 40% tax rebate. Read our guide to the French tax rebate.
CASTING AND TALENT
Models, actors, athletes and artists, and the agents who represent them: we handle bookings, contracts and logistics.
THE RIGHT WAY TO HIRE IN FRANCE
Hiring French talent through a French partner keeps everything simple: French contracts, collective agreements respected, social contributions in the budget from day one. Read our guide to filming in Paris.
