Giuliano Doman
Founder · Executive Producer
Giuliano has spent twenty-five years in production. In 2011 he founded Family Film in Bucharest and built it outward the slow way: office by office, crew by crew, into a three-office network across Romania, Hungary and Serbia & Montenegro, with partner companies in Georgia and Azerbaijan.

Production company, production house or fixer?
- Production house / production company
- Originates and produces its own content. Family Film is a production company in this sense — it produces — but it works for the agencies, brands and production houses that own the creative rather than competing with them for it.
- Production service company
- The local partner an international production hires to execute a shoot in Romania: line producing, crew, locations, permits, equipment, casting, logistics and the rebate filing. That is what the Bucharest office does, and all 251 campaigns in the archive are credited as full-service production.
- Fixer
- An individual arranging access on the ground for a small documentary, news or stills crew. If you need one person to open doors for a two-person unit, a fixer is the right hire — not a service company.
