The Fixer
What is a Fixer?
This is the big question we often have to answer for our various clients. It is true that this is not a common profession with a university degree.
The « Fixer » is a kind of Swiss army knife who acts as an intermediary for audiovisual production companies. This can also be for journalists, advertising agencies, event agencies or, more generally, for any person or company that needs a local contact in another country.
The fixer is mainly responsible for finding local contacts, carrying out location scouting and research on specific topics, managing castings and interviews, etc. But they also take care of various negotiations, logistics, translations, filming permits, drone flights. They know the country, its strengths and dangers, and they know what is possible to do or, on the contrary, what should not be done in a particular place.
In a more common profile, the fixer essentially works on the set-up of documentaries, commercials or feature films in collaboration with the teams of the company that made the request.
