- Build the shoot planWe draft a day-by-day schedule, reserve locations and crew, and flag any permits or clearances that need lead time.
- Lock permits and logisticsWe file filming requests, confirm drivers, vehicles and access, and prepare a call sheet everyone works from.
- Shoot with a fixer on setYour fixer runs the ground game each day, keeping the crew moving between locations and solving problems before they cost you a shot.

Documents you need

- An equipment list, especially cameras and drones, so we can pre-clear customs and permits.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly does a fixer do on my shoot?
A fixer is your local producer on the ground: we plan the days, secure locations and permits, arrange crew, drivers and gear, and solve problems in real time so you focus on filming. Think of us as the person who already knows who to call and how things work in Paraná.
Do I need permits to film in Paraná, and can you get them?
Many public spaces, parks and landmarks require prior authorization, especially for commercial or drone work. We identify what each location needs and file the requests with the right municipal and site authorities ahead of your dates.
Can you bring my camera gear and drone through customs?
Yes. Professional equipment usually enters under a temporary import regime or ATA carnet so it is not taxed as an import, and drones need ANAC and DECEA clearances. This is handled through our camera-gear customs service, which we coordinate alongside your shoot.
Can you supply a full crew, or just a fixer?
Either. Some creators want only a fixer, driver and translator, while larger productions ask us to build a full crew of operators, drone pilots, sound and assistants. We scale the team to your concept and budget.
What if something goes wrong on a shoot day?
That is the core of the job. Weather, access, talent or equipment issues get handled by your fixer as they happen, with backup locations and contacts prepared in advance so a problem rarely costs you the day.
Do you work in Arabic?
Yes. We serve creators and crews in Arabic, English and Portuguese, with the same fixer handling communication on set so directions and requests never get lost in translation.
