The role of a film fixer

Filming in exotic locations like Indonesia demands meticulous planning, negotiation, and adherence to local laws and customs. This is where the expertise of a fully licensed film fixer is invaluable. Legal Filming with 14 shooting days, our project required tight coordination to comply with Indonesian regulations. A film permit is essential, safeguarding the project and crew from legal issues. Beyond a Film Permit from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, all crew members needed film visas to legally work and stay in Indonesia. Location Permits the journey through 41 stunning locations required clearances from local authorities, police, and landowners. These permits are vital for filming, ensuring respect for local jurisdictions and community spaces. Logistical Mastery coordinating over 70 overseas crew members and integrating 27 local crew from Bali Fixer demanded exceptional logistical skills. Our production headquarters moved in sync with the teams to ensure smooth filming as planned.
