At ORBIS Production, fixer services in Italy go far beyond local contacts or ad-hoc assistance. We operate as a locally accountable production partner, providing structured on-ground control for international film, TV and commercial productions working in Italy.

Our fixer services are designed to manage the entire local production environment, ensuring that creative decisions translate into approved, compliant and efficiently executed shoots — regardless of location complexity, region or production scale.

We act as the single local interface between international clients and Italian authorities, crews and suppliers, taking responsibility for coordination, compliance and real-time problem solving on the ground.

Fixer Services in Italy

Fixer services in Italy are about local production control, not isolated tasks. At ORBIS Production, our fixer services are structured to cover everything that happens between the creative plan and the reality on the ground. We take responsibility for aligning locations, permits, authorities, logistics, crews and on-site execution into a single, coordinated production workflow.

Our role is to ensure that international film, TV and commercial productions can operate in Italy without friction, uncertainty or last-minute surprises. By managing the local environment proactively, we allow producers, agencies and directors to focus on creative decisions while we handle the operational, regulatory and logistical complexity that filming in Italy requires.

Locations & Permits

We manage location scouting, access negotiations and all public and private filming permits across Italy. This includes coordination with municipalities, film commissions, police departments, heritage authorities and private owners — ensuring locations are legally approved and production-ready.

Authority Coordination & Compliance

We handle direct communication with local authorities, ensuring that permits, safety plans, insurance requirements and regulatory obligations are aligned with Italian law and production standards.

Logistics & Transportation

We plan and manage production logistics, including crew and equipment transportation, access timing, unit parking, load-in/load-out schedules and terrain-specific solutions for cities, coastal areas, mountains and remote locations.

Local Crew & Supplier Coordination

We coordinate experienced Italian film and photo crews, technicians and trusted local suppliers, ensuring smooth integration with international teams and maintaining production efficiency on set.

On-Ground Production Control

During shoot days, our team manages on-site coordination, timing, access control and real-time problem solving — keeping productions on schedule and avoiding costly disruptions.

Risk Management & Problem Solving

We anticipate and manage location-related risks, permit constraints, public interaction issues and last-minute changes, providing practical solutions that protect both schedules and budgets.

Full-Service Film Production Company in Italy

What Sets Us Apart

ORBIS Production operates as a production company first, not a fixer second. Our strength is full local responsibility — combining authority access, operational control and nationwide expertise to support international productions filming in Italy.

Production-Level Responsibility

ORBIS Production operates as a licensed production company, not as an individual fixer. We take full responsibility for local execution, authority-facing coordination and compliance, ensuring that international productions are supported by a legally accountable partner in Italy.

Nationwide Expertise, One Point of Contact

With teams and trusted partners operating across all regions of Italy, we provide consistent production standards nationwide. Clients work with one central production partner while we coordinate regional specifics behind the scenes.

Full Control of the Local Environment

We manage all on-ground variables — locations, permits, authorities, logistics, crews and access — within a single, coordinated workflow. This eliminates fragmentation and gives producers and agencies clear control over timing, costs and execution.

Risk Reduction Through Experience

Filming in Italy involves regulatory, logistical and operational risks that are often underestimated. Our experience allows us to anticipate constraints, resolve issues in real time and protect schedules and budgets, even in complex or high-profile locations.

How Our Fixer Services Work

Our fixer services in Italy follow a structured production workflow, designed to give international clients clarity, predictability and local control at every stage of the shoot. From the first conversation to final wrap, we manage the local environment so production decisions can be executed without friction.

Project Brief & Local Assessment

We start by reviewing the creative brief, schedule, locations, crew size and production goals. At this stage, we assess local feasibility, regulatory constraints and operational risks specific to Italy, allowing us to define the right level of fixer support from the outset.

01
Permits, Authorities & Local Coordination

We initiate all required public and private permits, coordinate with municipalities, film commissions, police departments and heritage authorities, and align safety, insurance and compliance requirements with Italian regulations.

02
Logistics, Crews & On-Ground Preparation

We organise production logistics, transportation, access planning and local crew or supplier coordination. All elements are aligned with permit conditions, location access rules and shooting schedules to avoid last-minute disruptions.

03
Permits, Approvals & Compliance

We secure all required filming permits, licences and approvals, coordinating with municipalities, film commissions, heritage authorities and private owners while managing compliance and documentation.

04
On-Set Execution & Real-Time Control

During shoot days, our team manages on-ground execution, timing, access control and real-time problem solving. We act as the local decision point, ensuring the production stays on schedule, compliant and operationally smooth.

05
Close-Out & Location Wrap

After filming, we oversee location wrap, reinstatement and final authority sign-off, closing permits properly and ensuring locations are returned to original condition. This protects both the production and future access.

This process allows international productions to film in Italy with confidence, knowing that local execution is handled professionally, transparently and under full control.

Typical Scenarios We Support

Our fixer services in Italy are designed to support international productions in real-world filming situations, where local complexity, timing pressure and operational control matter. Below are common scenarios where clients rely on ORBIS Production as their local production partner in Italy.

International Commercials with Foreign Directors

We support advertising productions led by international directors and agencies, providing full local coordination while creative leadership remains with the client. We manage permits, locations, crews and logistics to ensure seamless execution within Italian regulations.

Multi-City and Multi-Region Shoots Across Italy

From Milan to Rome, Venice, Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast or the Italian Alps, we coordinate multi-location shoots across different regions, maintaining consistent production standards and one central point of control.

Fashion Campaigns in Heritage or Restricted Locations

We support fashion and luxury productions filming in historical centres, UNESCO sites and protected locations, managing permits, access, image rights and on-site coordination with discretion and precision.

Time-Sensitive or Fast-Turnaround Productions

When schedules are tight, we step in to assess feasibility, secure approvals where possible and coordinate logistics efficiently — always providing realistic expectations around timelines and constraints.

Productions Requiring Discreet or High-Control Execution

For shoots involving high-profile talent, confidential campaigns or sensitive locations, we manage access, on-site coordination and local interfaces with a focus on privacy, security and controlled workflows.

Productions Entering Italy Mid-Project

We frequently join projects already in progress, providing local fixer support for permits, locations, logistics or on-ground control when international productions need experienced local oversight.

In each of these scenarios, ORBIS Production operates as a locally accountable production partner, ensuring that international productions can work in Italy with confidence, clarity and full operational support.

One Partner, One Standard

ORBIS Production operates across three complementary production roles, allowing international clients to engage the exact level of local involvement required — without changing partners or workflows.

We are not a fixer who sometimes produces, and not a production company limited to full productions only. We are a full-service production company in Italy that also acts as a production service company and fixer service provider, depending on the needs of each project.

This flexibility allows productions to scale local support without losing control, continuity or accountability.

Fixer Services

When international productions already have their own producer, director or agency structure in place, ORBIS Production acts as a local fixer service provider in Italy. In this role, we manage permits, locations, logistics, authorities and on-ground coordination — ensuring smooth execution within Italian regulations.

Production Services

As a production service company in Italy, we provide structured local production support for foreign production companies and agencies. This includes crew sourcing, equipment rental, location management, casting support, logistics and production coordination, while creative leadership remains with the client.

Full-Service Production

For projects requiring full responsibility, ORBIS Production operates as a full-service production company in Italy, managing the entire production workflow from planning and budgeting to shoot execution and delivery. This model is often chosen by brands, agencies and clients without an internal production team.

Regardless of the model, all projects benefit from the same core strengths:

production-level accountability
authority-facing responsibility
nationwide execution across Italy
consistent quality, workflows and standards

Clients can move between fixer services, production services and full production without changing partners, ensuring continuity and long-term collaboration.

Fixer Services Across All of Italy

We deliver a complete suite of high-end fixer services across Italy, meticulously crafted to meet and exceed the highest industry standards. Whether filming in major cities, heritage sites or logistically complex remote locations, we ensure the same level of control, compliance and execution quality.
