  • Hello there

    I am on the look out for an experienced fixer (must provide CV) in Russia to help organise a range of tasks, filming in multiple cities in Russia.

    Task required include
    – Organising permits
    – Organising a driver
    – Research on locations to film

    The shoots are not so difficult in terms of crew size (2-3 crew) and equipment (single main camera) as we are just filming landmarks around Russia, but there would be a lot of organising and travel involved moving from one point to another within a day and we would be filming in public areas most of the time.

    Many thanks

    David Apanah
    Director – Pendulum Productions

    Dear David,

    My name is Alexandra. I represent Andy Fiord Production.
    Our company provides photo&film production services across entire Russia.

    Here you will be able to find more information about our projects and clients: http://www.andyfiordproduction.com

    Your project sounds very interesting and we will be happy to assist you! Our team includes experienced fixers who produce both commercial and documentary shootings for small and large-scale projects. All of them are fluent in English and work a lot with international crew.

    Dear David, in order we could propose you the best candidate and prepare our offer, would you be so kind to provide us with some additional information about this project?

    1) Do you already know the cities and places where the shooting is going to happen? If not – it will be our pleasure to suggest you some locations. In such case, could you, please, tell us a little bit more about your project, its creative idea and what type of locations are you looking for?

    Meanwhile, please, feel free to take a look at our location base, it includes some of the most breathtaking places in Russia: http://andyfiordproduction.com/locations/

    But of course, it’s only a part of it. Based on your request – we will be able to send you more options.

    2) Do you already know the approximate shooting dates? Or maybe you can tell us how many days the shooting will last in each city?

    3) How many locations per day would you like to film in each city?

    4) Dear David, do you plan to bring the camera with you or you would you like to hire some equipment here in Russia?

    5) Just in case you might be interested in hiring some local artists, we would like to let you know that Andy Fiord Production represents lots of rising and established talents, including film-makers, photographers, stylists, make-up/hair artists, etc. Please, feel free to let us know if you would like to see their rates and portfolios.

    6) Could you, please, tell us how would you prefer to organise the transportation during the shooting? Should we calculate the costs for a van – or you will be fine with moving between locations by taxi (if we’re talking about the city shooting)?

    7) Did we understand you correctly: you won’t need to organize a casting for this project? However we wanted to let you know that our company has its own international model agency – Andy Fiord Models (http://www.andyfiordmodels.com). So if anything needed – don’t hesitate to ask!

    8) David, it also will be a pleasure for us to assist you with your accommodation, flights and visas during the project. If you will need our assistance here – we stay at your full disposal!

    Let me also tell you a little bit more about our company.

    Hi David,

    FYI I’m a veteran owner & founder of Moscow-based
    Russian Film Commission.

    When necessary – to minimize costs – I operate
    as a man-orchestra fixer/producer.

    Besides my int’l co-prods / my production services,
    I have hired local crews in Russia, ex-USSR and
    also in Western Europe for my own productions.

    You can find some of my recent projects at
    https://www.russianfilm.biz .

    I look forward to discussing your production(s).

    BTW I left you a voice message in your office
    with my contacts.

    Best regards,

    Hello, David,

    Hope you’re doing well. We’re a Moscow-based production company that has been facilitating TV shoots around the former Soviet Union for years.

    Just to name a few clients:

    – BBC’s Top Gear (St. Petersburg);
    – Netflix’s Chelsea (Moscow);
    – TBS’s Conan (Armenia);
    – CBS’ The Amazing Race (12 episodes, from Siberia’s Krasnoyarsk to Azerbaijan’s Baku).

    We have been getting permits as complicated as shooting in the Russian State Library. We organized logistics for a fleet of 70+ vehicles. And of course, we’ve had lots of smaller-scale projects.

    Contact us any time comfortable. Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Regards,

    Stanislav Solovkin
    CEO & Founder
