Film fixer in Egypt
A good fixer opens doors and keeps the day on schedule. Our fixers have worked with crews from Japan, France, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine, the Netherlands and the UK.
What our fixers do
Permits follow-up, location access, transport, translation, local contacts, talent and extras, and solving problems on the day. For small crews, the fixer is often the whole local team. For bigger shoots, fixers work inside our production department.
Fixer or production company?
You get both. If your shoot grows from two people to twenty, the same team scales up with line production, crew and equipment, without changing partners.
Where we work
Cairo and Giza, Alexandria, Luxor and Aswan, the Red Sea coast, South Sinai, Siwa and the Western Desert. We know which locations need extra approvals and how long the drives really take.
