Postproduction is not only a cost. It can also be an opportunity. The right postproduction decisions can unlock additional public funding.
Flexible postproduction structures for contemporary filmmaking.
Postwives was created after years of working across European productions, where major creative, financial and production decisions were mostly made before postproduction entered the conversation.
Yet many of those decisions directly influence how a film can be finished and which opportunities become available during production and postproduction.
Rather than approaching postproduction only as a final execution phase, Postwives sees it as part of the production strategy — one that can create more flexibility, stronger international collaborations and more sustainable production models across Europe.
By combining postproduction, VFX and European industry knowledge, Postwives helps producers identify opportunities, build tailored workflows and connect the right territories and partners around each film's specific needs.
Founded by postproduction supervisor and VFX producer Ewa Babska, Postwives brings together nearly two decades of experience across European postproduction, VFX and international co-productions.
