Local Fixer Services

Here is the breakdown. We give local fixer services that give a visiting production a skilled, well-connected partner on the ground in Turkey. Our team handles the practical work that keeps a shoot moving — location access, permits, crew and car sourcing, lodging, translation, and the day-to-day problem-solving that no schedule fully expects. We act as the bridge between a global shoots and Turkish authorities, suppliers and communities, working bilingually in Turkish and English, and we draw on relationships built across years of local production to open doors fast. Whether a project is a documentary unit, a commercial or a feature, we scale our role to what the production needs and stay reachable across the shoot.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. A good fixer is most valuable where local systems are intricate. Turkey is exactly such a place. Permits run through the Ministry of Culture and Tourism with extra layers for museums, the Bosphorus and archaeological sites. Drone work involves the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (SHGM). Customs clearance uses ATA Carnets through Turkish Customs. The country's geography spans the two-continent city of Istanbul, the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia, Pamukkale's terraces and the Turquoise Coast — each with its own contacts and conditions. Productions from Skyfall to The Water Diviner have relied on local fixers to make the country work. We bring that same on-the-ground skill to each project.
