Our experienced fixers bring deep understanding of local customs, government procedures, business practices, and logistical networks that enable foreign productions to operate efficiently while maintaining positive relationships with local communities, authorities, and service providers. They assist with creating and managing local production budgets and schedules, negotiating with local suppliers to secure competitive rates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What permits are needed for filming in Indonesia?
Foreign productions must register with the Indonesian Film Agency and obtain a filming recommendation letter. Provincial and municipal permits are required for each location. Temple filming needs separate religious authority approval. National parks require Ministry of Environment permits. Our fixers coordinate the complete multi-agency permit process.
How does the Indonesian Film Agency approval work?
The Film Agency requires submission of script summaries, crew lists, location plans, and a local production partner. Processing typically takes 2-4 weeks. The Film Censorship Board (LSF) may review content plans for certain project types. Our fixers prepare all documentation and liaise with the agency throughout the process.
Do your fixers handle visa and work permits?
Yes. We coordinate Social-Cultural Visa (B211A) applications for short-term scouting and KITAS/ITAS work permits for production crew through the Directorate General of Immigration. Equipment import requires customs coordination. Our fixers manage all immigration paperwork and ensure compliance with Indonesia's foreign worker regulations.
What does a typical fixer provide on an Indonesian production?
Our Indonesian fixers arrange national and provincial filming permits, coordinate inter-island transport logistics, source local crew and equipment, manage community relations for village and temple shoots, handle weather contingencies during monsoon season, arrange security for remote locations, and provide Bahasa Indonesia on-set liaison.
