Local Fixer Services

Here is how this works in practice. We act as local fixers for shoots of each kind working in Poland, supplying the on-the-ground knowledge and contacts that keep a foreign or out-of-region shoot moving. Our team handles location leads, permit liaison, crew and supplier introductions, transport, lodging and the day-to-day problem-solving that a production office cannot manage from abroad. We bridge language and bring direct relationships with regional film commissions, venues, authorities and vendors, so a brief turns into a workable plan fast. Fixer work spans the whole production: scouting and recces, scheduling input, logistics on shoot days, and the rapid options a unit needs when conditions change. For documentary and news teams we move fast. For features we integrate into a larger pre-production structure.

Here is the short of it. Poland rewards a well-connected local fixer. The Polish Film Institute (PISF) and Film Commission Poland promote the country and administer the 30% cash rebates, while roughly sixteen regional film funds — the Łódź, Kraków, Mazovia, Silesia and Lower Silesia funds among them — each work in new ways, and local knowledge is what turns those structures into real support.

Here is the breakdown. The country gives huge variety within short distances: the studios and historic streets of Warsaw and Kraków, the cinematic legacy of Łódź, the Baltic coast in the north and the Tatra Mountains in the south, all under a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. We use set up networks across these regions to give shoots a single dependable point of contact and a shoot that runs smoothly wherever it is based.
