Local Fixer Services
Expert local production support and coordination services throughout Croatia.
Here is how this works in practice. Local fixer services give on-the-ground production support in unfamiliar areas, bridging language barriers, cultural differences, and logistical challenges. Croatia's production scene — from Dubrovnik's iconic walled Old Town to Zagreb's urban settings and the stunning Dalmatian coast — demands fixers who know HAVC cash rebates programs, heritage site filming protocols, and the logistics of island and coastal shoots. A fixer's local knowledge of locations, vendors, rules, and customs is invaluable for global shoots shooting across Croatia.
Here is the short of it. We give skilled local fixers who serve as your production's guide, translator, and problem-solver on the ground across Croatia. Our team connects you with fixers who know Croatian customs, speak the language, and have set up relationships with vendors, city authorities and the HAVC, and communities from Dubrovnik to Split.

On Location
We provide local fixing across Croatia, bridging international productions with crew, locations and authorities from Dubrovnik and Split to Zagreb and the Adriatic islands.
Here is how this works in practice. We act as the local production partner for projects filming in Croatia, solving the practical problems that come with shooting in an unfamiliar country. Our team arranges crew, locations, transport, lodging, gear and permits, and gives the on-the-ground knowledge that keeps a shoot moving, from which authority to way for a city-centre location to how ferry timetables affect an island unit. We translate between Croatian and global teams, handle local suppliers and negotiations, and expect the issues that can derail a schedule. Whether a production needs a single scout, a full pre-production service or day-to-day support during the shoot. We scale our role to the project and keep global producers informed at each step.
Here is the short of it. Croatia has become a trusted base for global shoots, and good fixing draws on that maturity. HAVC, the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, administers the 25% 'Filming in Croatia' cash rebates, and the regional film commissions in Dubrovnik, Zagreb and Istria support visiting shoots. Major projects including 'Game of Thrones'. This used Dubrovnik as King's Landing, 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi', 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' on Vis and 'Robin Hood' have all relied on local planning to access the country's UNESCO cities, Adriatic islands and national parks. English is widely spoken in the Croatian film industry. Croatia's EU and Schengen membership eases travel and logistics. We combine this infrastructure with hands-on local relationships so shoots get trusted, well-connected support wherever they shoot.
