Local Fixer Services

Here is how the work lines up. A New York fixer is the on-the-ground translator between an global production and the world's most-filmed city — a place where the difference between a viable scout and a wasted day often comes down to who picks up the phone at MOME, the NYPD Movie/TV Unit, or the building manager of a Tribeca loft you spotted in Severance.

Our fixers live the schedule the city imposes: alternate-side parking patterns, the rhythms of FDR drive and the Holland Tunnel, the difference between shooting in Industry City versus Red Hook, the protocols a Hasidic block in Williamsburg needs, the etiquette of Chinatown and Flushing, and the relationship work needed to film respectfully in Harlem or Brooklyn Heights. They speak the language of NYC&Company's film desk, brief producers on the Made in NY tax credit chain, and have personal contacts at Silvercup, Kaufman Astoria, and Steiner.

Our delivery model embeds a senior fixer alongside the line producer from the first scout, then expands the on-the-ground team as the schedule scales. We handle vendor introductions, neighbourhood notifications, MTA and Port Authority coordination, FAA airspace queries around LGA and JFK, and the quiet diplomacy needed when a SoHo block has a competing production already booked.

Our team carries personal contacts at the major insurance houses — Front Row, Reel Media, Allianz Entertainment, Lockton — so COI revisions can land inside a few hours, and they know which NYPD precinct captains will lean in on a tight street-closure timeline. Twenty-four-hour producer-on-call coverage runs through every shoot. Emergency protocols cover everything from medical incident to weather backup plan. Global producers leave with a production that feels native to New York rather than imposed on it.
