Saying that Edithouse Film Works has experience from filming cars, is pretty far from exaggerating. Over the years, the company has produced hundreds of films in collaboration with the car industry, commercials and running footage, as well as launch, instructions, inspiration and information films. Its films have been displayed on the web, at retailers, in mobile phones, in tablets, at motor shows - in short, everywhere films can be used.

The company says taking on an assignment is easy. But, taking it to the finishing is more of a challenge, especially if it’s an intercontinental assignment. Edithouse has been filming vehicles all over the globe. In order to film on location with secrecy, an almost military organisation is required.

"We know of no-one else that has handled as large project, as many projects or has produced as many films. And always with satisfied clients."

The two founders of Filmreaktor envisioned a production and service company small enough to begin with, but also huge in its ambitions: "We grew as a company thanks to our determined idea of professionalism. Tight scheduling and reasonable budgeting, as well as an extensive professional network, gives us a great rapport with crew and equipment owners. All this happens in Hungary, mainly in Budapest’s outstanding locations with its highly professional crews and economic prices.

As jobs increased in size, we completed a range of work for clients such as Oral B, Pond’s and Intuit. We are also very proud of our recent car commercial for Toyota."

Such trust has brought Rabagast to shoot in all parts of Spain but also in France, Italy, Portugal and Switzerland.
