WHAT DO FILM FIXERS DO?
What is a fixer? They support the entire film production process — especially when you’re shooting in a new or unfamiliar location. Whether you’re producing a feature film, documentary, corporate video, or music video, a fixer for film projects acts as your local expert and problem-solver. From pre-production planning and permits to transport, location scouting, and even meals. Put simply: your production will run like a dream.
Never heard of a film fixer? Maybe you’ve heard “local fixer,” “production coordinator,” or “local producer.” ‘Tomayto, Tomahto’.
