FilmBrigade is a Prague production company which concentrates on quality mainstream film and television projects. It is the sister company of Bionaut Films, which has produced feature length films such as Shark in the Head starring Oldřich Kaiser, the comedy Bitter Coffee, or Brats, which was nominated for seven Czech Lion awards in 1992.

FilmBrigade was founded by producers Vratislav Šlajer and Petr Bílek, whose aim was to build a strong brand on the domestic audiovisual market that would align itself with artistically compelling projects with broad audience appeal.

FilmBrigade has completed shooting a television comedy-drama series „The Airport“, which has successfully ended its run in December 2007 with its 118th episode. Feature film scripts supported by European Union’s Media Programmme and other television projects are in the works at the moment.

With an annual turnover of some one hundred million crowns, FilmBrigade ranks among the largest production companies in the Czech Republic in terms of production volume.

Czech filmmakers have learned how to obtain grants from European Union funds. Negativ and FilmBrigade decided to try their luck gaining financing for several films at once, a feat Stillking Films accomplished last year (...) FilmBrigade, which operates as the sister company of Bionaut and is currently producing the television series Airport, has brought together several projects - X, Dream Team, Monte Christo File, and Budulín - for slate funding.

Prima TV is investing hundreds of millions of crowns to re-launch Family Bonds and to introduce a new series, Airport, which will be shot in former factory halls in the Prague neighbourhood of Vysočany. 'Airport will be one of Prima TV's biggest projects this year,' said Prima TV Director Martin Dvořák.

Airport was conceived by young people. They are in charge of production as well as the story line. The television station told them it had accepted the series at the last moment. From the time it was accepted until production began, they had just two months to find the locations, build the sets, hold the castings, and choose the actors, directors, and screenwriters. They managed it all.
