WHY DO YOU NEED A LOCAL FIXER?
Filming in Brazil can be challenging due to the country's language, size, culture, diversity, and specific bureaucratic processes. A local fixer is essential to navigate these challenges.
A fixer is a production expert who knows the local area where your shoot is to take place, speaks the local language, and understands Brazil's specific film and TV production requirements.
A good fixer will:
- Communicate fluently in your language and the local language.
- Be well-connected, professional and resourceful.
- Handle all local permits and bureaucratic processes.
- Ensure that logistics, from transportation to crew management, run smoothly.
At Brazil Production Services (BPS), we pride ourselves on having a network of the best fixers in the country, with local knowledge of every region and of different types of program formats and topics.
From the Amazon's rainforests to Rio de Janeiro's streets, from Minas’ coffee growing regions to São Paulo’s nightlife, our fixers have a finger on the pulse of what is happening all over Brazil. With them and our office team, your production is in good hands.

SPECIALIZED FIXERS FOR BRAZILIAN LOCATIONS
Brazil is a vast country with diverse landscapes, and each region requires unique expertise. At Brazil Production Services, we assign fixers to projects who are specialists in the areas they cover. A fixer who’s perfect for one type of project (say, a fashion shoot in São Paulo) might not be the right fit for something completely different, like a rugged nature shoot deep in the Amazon that involves sleeping on boats and in the jungle. At BPS, we believe strongly in matching each project with the right fixer, chosen specifically for their relevant experience with similar projects.
Below is a sampling of some of the different kinds of shoots and environments that we have great fixers for in our roster:
Nature and wildlife productions
For productions in rugged environments such as the Amazon rainforest, the Pantanal wetlands, or the Cerrado in the center of the country, we assign experienced fixers with backgrounds as biologists, nature guides, or former military jungle operatives.
These professionals are fully prepared for expeditions and extended shoots in challenging natural environments, making them ideal for wildlife and adventure projects.
Commercial Shoots
For these kinds of shoots, we work with some of the best fixer/production managers in the business, who can oversee large projects, offer great project management skills and balance big budgets, complex schedules, and demanding logistics, often working under pressure to keep the production on track so as to deliver high-quality results.
Celebrity Shoots
Many of our shoots involve celebrities and high-net-worth individuals who require discretion, care, and specialized handling.
Our fixers have previously worked with some very high-profile international talent and know exactly which services to secure to assist them — and how to meet each individual’s unique needs with professionalism and finesse.
Corporate Shoots
Filming in high-risk locations
Many clients request filming in Brazil’s favelas (urban slums), which present unique challenges.
Our fixers have experience in these high-risk environments and understand the specific protocols to ensure the crew's safety and the shoot's success.
Urban productions
If your production is set in one of Brazil’s major cities, such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, or Brasília, our urban fixers are experts in navigating these metropolitan areas.
They know the best spots for filming, how to manage city permits, and can handle the unique challenges of shooting in a bustling cityscape.
