Our documentary fixer services include complete permit application management, ensuring all necessary documentation meets local standards. We handle everything from initial research permits to location-specific authorizations, saving production teams valuable time and resources. Our established relationships with cultural bureaus and film offices across multiple provinces enable us to expedite what can otherwise be a lengthy approval process.
