Local Fixer Services

Here is how this works in practice. We give local fixer services that give shoots a knowledgeable point of contact for everything Morocco needs. Our team scouts and unlocks locations, opens doors with provincial wilaya authorities, sources crew and suppliers, arranges transport and lodging, and translates between Arabic, French, Tamazight, Spanish in the north and English. A good fixer expects the friction points of a Moroccan shoot: prayer-time scheduling, desert heat exceeding 40°C, customs clearance for gear through the ADII, and the cash realities of a controlled dirham economy.

Here is the breakdown. On the ground, we work hand in hand with the CCM-licensed production-services firm that each foreign production must partner with, so the fixer's local knowledge and the formal Centre Cinématographique Marocain sign-off process reinforce each other. From a single commercial day in Casablanca to a multi-week feature in Ouarzazate, the fixer keeps the shoot moving.

Here is the short of it. Morocco's fixer custom is as old as foreign filming here, and the country's record reflects it. Productions have relied on local fixers to deliver Rabat doubling for Mogadishu in 'Black Hawk Down', Tangier for 'Inception' and 'Spectre', Aït Benhaddou for 'Gladiator', 'Kingdom of Heaven' and HBO's 'Game of Thrones', and Essaouira for the city of Astapor.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. On the ground, That history means the relationships. With location owners, regional commissions such as the Ouarzazate Film Commission, hoteliers, drivers, animal handlers and the Berber extras community, are deep and set up. We draw on that network so a production gets honest local intelligence, fair pricing and fast options. With a fixer who knows both global shoots standards and how Morocco actually works.
