Questions
Straight answers before you fly.
The questions producers ask us first. Not here? Ask us directly.
No. India is our home base and where we have worked longest, but we coordinate productions around the world, from fixing and permits to full line production. Tell us where you want to shoot and we will explain how we would run it.
A fixer is your local expert on the ground: access, contacts, permits and problem solving. A line producer manages the budget, schedule and crew day to day. We usually do both, so one team owns your production.
In most countries, including India, yes. Requirements differ by location, type of shoot and equipment such as drones. We prepare the applications and manage timelines so you do not lose days.
It depends on crew size, locations, days and permits. Send your brief and we will return a clear, itemised estimate so you can see where every cost comes from.
Yes. We built our name as the trouble shooters producers call when a shoot gets stuck because of an inappropriate fixer. Call us and we will step in.
We have worked with English, French, Spanish and Italian crews, and we can bring a language crew on board for interpreting, translation and subtitling.
