Local Fixer Services

Here is the breakdown. We act as the local fixer for shoots working in Belgium, giving the regional knowledge, contacts and problem-solving that keep an unfamiliar shoot moving. Our team navigates Belgium's federal structure on a production's behalf — handling permit applications through the regional film offices, briefing crew on whether French, Dutch or both are needed for a given location, and connecting shoots with the suppliers, crew and sites best suited to each project.

Here is how that works. We arrange transport, lodging and logistics across the country's compact geography, liaise with local authorities, and translate the practicalities of the Belgian Tax Shelter and the VAF, Screen Flanders, Wallimage and screen.brussels into clear next steps. When something changes on the day, we are the local point of contact who can resolve it fast.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Belgium rewards shoots that work with someone who knows the ground. The country packs remarkable variety into a small area — the Art Nouveau and EU institutions of Brussels, the medieval streets of Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp, the forested Ardennes and the North Sea coast — and each setting comes with its own authorities, access rules and language. Productions from 'In Bruges' to the Dardenne brothers' Liège-set dramas have relied on local knowledge to film smoothly in covered and lived-in settings. We give global and domestic shoots alike a dependable local partner who knows Belgian rules, from GDPR and the APD/GBA to BIPT range rules and civil aviation drone clearances, and who can keep a shoot on schedule whatever the weather the temperate maritime climate sends.
