LINE PRODUCER & FILM FIXERS

Where stories cross borders & commerce meets creativity.

A story-led production company — twenty years on. Four films past ₹100 crore, ten studio and streamer clients, five major festivals.

From the chaos of production to the complexity of rights, we make filmmaking seamless. Because cinema deserves ambition — & precision. Profitable outcomes for every project, no matter the scale.

Our line producer and film fixer network reaches across the Middle East corridor — from the beauty of Turkey & Morocco to the desert expanse of Jordan and Egypt, the Mediterranean coast of Tunisia, the modern skyline of the UAE, and Saudi Arabia’s open frontier — and onward through the monsoon palaces of India, the Himalayan air of Nepal, the neon edges of Japan and Korea, the temple light of Bali and Indonesia’s volcanic interior, to the Atlantic shores of Portugal. Wherever the story unfolds, we know the ground.

For shoots in India, our film fixer in India service covers location recce, access, permit coordination and daily local support. For productions needing budget, schedule and supplier management, our line producer in India team coordinates the agreed scope across regional crews and locations. Fixing and line production can be engaged separately or together, with responsibilities agreed for each shoot.

PRODUCTION

The work between the script and the screen

Permits, crew calls, equipment rigs, customs paperwork, on-set budget guard — we run shoots through Mumbai sound stages and Rajasthan‘s palace-and-dune country, Kerala backwaters and the Goa coast, Delhi sets and Chennai’s studio belt, Hyderabad’s Ramoji floors, the tiger-forest tracks of Madhya Pradesh and the marine light of the Andaman. India film incentives include central and state support with separate eligibility and claim conditions. Assess each scheme before including assistance in the production budget.
