FAQ

If you have any questions we dont answer in this FAQ, please contact us for more information.

A fixer is a line producer tasked with coordinating and facilitating every aspect of a production, from location scouting to acquiring permits and permissions, through to
hiring crew and securing accommodation and gear. Due to the considerable
responsibility resting on their shoulders and the hands-on nature of their various duties, fixers are central to a production.

Pre-production fixing entails: Budget, Location Scouting, Logistics, Crew, Talent, and
Equipment and Vehicle Hire.

It is our daily duty to make sure that all is going to plan and to take responsibility for, or rectify any mishaps that may occur on set. We continually liaise closely with all HoDs and resolve any discrepancies with budget, creative differences, safety, and
the seamless execution of the production in general.

Fixers play a vital role in making sure that the production meets the desired product in line with their client’s initial vision and budget. We perform an extensive budget analysis once the production is complete to indicate how effective the budget allocation was in relation to all incurred production expenses, from start to finish. We also make sure that all rental leases are honoured by returning all equipment, vehicles, etc to their respective providers.

Africa is a continent steeped in natural beauty and adorned with vibrant culture. These two qualities, in addition to low overheads, favourable incentives, and compelling visual landscapes continue to attract production companies from abroad.
Current favourite film locations include South Africa, Nigeria, Namibia, Zanzibar, Morocco, and Egypt, but there are many more locations in our extensive database
that can spark the imagination and make magic happen!
