FIXER IN GERMANY & AUSTRIA
BERLIN I MUNICH I FRANKFURT I HAMBURG I COLOGNE I VIENNA I BEYOND
Since 2011, I have been working as a fixer, stringer, and producer for international TV productions across Germany. When required, I also cover Austria and other German-speaking regions.
With extensive experience as a producer and production manager for German production companies, I have organized multiple shoots abroad—often relying on fixers myself. This firsthand experience has given me a deep understanding of the pivotal role a fixer plays in ensuring the success of any foreign production. I am dedicated to making every production I work on a seamless and successful experience.
Over the years, I have supported more than 150 international productions, spanning high-profile TV shows, documentaries, news segments, and branded content.
As a native German, I possess an intimate understanding of local culture and nuances. Fluent in English, I ensure smooth and effective communication with international crews.
I guarantee transparency with no hidden fees when hiring me as a fixer, unlike other service providers covering multiple countries. My clients value my hands-on, personalized approach, as I serve as a dedicated point of contact from the start of a project through to its completion.

ABOUT FILMING IN GERMANY
Every shoot in Germany begins with the question of whether an official filming permit is needed. We will be happy to clarify for you if an authorisation is required in your case. There are some locations where a shooting permit is not necessary or can be obtained very unbureaucratically. In most cities, however, an authorisation for filming must be applied for. As the language of the authorities is German, we advise you not to start this on your own so that no valuable time is lost.
Speaking of time, it’s difficult to generalize how long it takes to get approval. It is advisable to allow between 2-4 weeks processing time for more complex shoots in larger cities. In many cases, however, we also succeed in obtaining approvals at very short notice. For smaller shoots, a few days of processing time is usually sufficient.
