Fixer-Netherlands: Line producer and trusted Support in the Netherlands for Journalists and film crews
As a filmmaker, one of the most important decisions you will make is choosing a film fixer. A film fixer is a local professional who helps you navigate the challenges and opportunities of shooting a film in a foreign location.
Having a film fixer on your team can be incredibly beneficial for a number of reasons. First and foremost, a film fixer has an in-depth knowledge of the local culture, language, and customs. This can be incredibly helpful when it comes to communicating with local crew, casting actors, and finding locations.
A film fixer can also help you navigate the local film industry, including regulations and permits. This can save you a lot of time and hassle, and it can help you avoid potential roadblocks that could delay or derail your production.
In addition to their knowledge and expertise, a film fixer can also provide valuable connections and resources. They may have relationships with local vendors, suppliers, and crew members who can help you make your film a reality. They can also help you find local equipment, props, and other production materials that can be difficult to obtain in a foreign location.
But perhaps the most important role of a film fixer is as a liaison and advocate for your production. They can act as a bridge between your team and the local community, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and working towards a common goal. They can also help to address any concerns or issues that may arise during the production process, helping to keep things moving smoothly.
In short, a film fixer is an indispensable member of any filmmaking team. They can provide valuable knowledge, connections, and support that can make the difference between a successful production and a costly failure. So if you are planning to shoot a film in a foreign location, be sure to hire a film fixer – you won't regret it!

Hey there,
I hope this email finds you well! We are looking at doing a short film some time in September for M&M's, and we are looking for an exterior wall in any Dutch city that we could easily get a permit to project onto - kind of like how they do it at the Stedelijk Museum. If you have any idea of any walls we could use in a public space (So that we could generate a crowd) it would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much, I look forward to hearing back from you.
Warmest regards,

My crew had lovely fee days filming in Amsterdam in the end of 2022. I found Jasper the Fixer via recommendtions and he jumped into our production with professionalism. The communication was staightforward. He took good care of my crew during the filming, from the first steps at the airport. It was a pleasure to work with you, Jasper!
