Dear Jim,

I am a fixer experienced in working with foreign TV and documentary film crews in Croatia and Bosnia. I also have experience with travel stories and good connections in tourism industry.

Normally, I help the producers or directors, before they get here, with the story background and fact checking, I provide story ideas or help develop them, suggest who to interview, provide contacts with local officials, obtain all necessary shooting (and other) permits, and organize their stay and shooting here in Croatia.

During the shooting, I travel with the crew, serving as a fixer, interpreter and location manager.

After the shooting is done, being a professional interpreter and translator, I often also translate the interviews, with exact time codes.

Recently I helped a French TV documentary series crew: I organized the whole schedule for their shooting in Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia, their transportation, accomodation and food, served as liaison with the persons they planned to interview, found and negotiated locations for the shooting, helped with fact checking, and even served as a set dresser.

And, last, but not least, I am good with intersting and unusual ideas

When I’m not on location with foreign TV crews, I work in tourism and services industry as a consultant and coach.

I have already worked with Canadians, both English and French speaking, during the war, and it was a very good experience, so I’m looking forward to working with you. If we agree, I can make my schedule free for the preparation period (along my other work) and the shooting between November 8 to 24th 2013.

I’ll send you my CV and more details,

Best,

Mirta,
