Introduction to Film Production in Austria
Professional fixer services provide essential local knowledge and operational support that bridges the gap between international productions and local environments, ensuring smooth logistics, regulatory compliance, and cultural navigation throughout the filming process. As a company, we offer full production services, including comprehensive management of logistics, crew, and equipment.
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.
Austria delivers proven film production capabilities that combine established cinematic infrastructure with operational efficiency. The country provides diverse location assets—from major urban centers to rural territories and coastal regions—that serve the specific requirements of TV series, commercial productions, and feature films.

Frequently Asked Questions
What permits are needed for filming in Austria?
Filming permits are issued at the municipal level — Vienna requires approval from the MA 36 (city permit office), while other cities and regions have their own processes. National parks, heritage sites, and railway locations need additional authorisations. Our fixers coordinate across all relevant authorities to secure complete permit packages.
How does the Austrian Film Commission support international productions?
The Austrian Film Commission provides location scouting support and connects productions with local services. The Austrian Film Institute (ÖFI) administers the FISA+ incentive programme. Regional commissions in Vienna, Salzburg, and Tyrol offer additional support. Our fixers help you navigate these overlapping resources efficiently.
What languages do your Austrian fixers speak?
All our Austrian fixers are native German speakers fluent in English. Many also speak French, Italian, or other European languages — particularly useful for co-productions and multilingual crews working across Austria's border regions.
What does a typical fixer handle on an Austrian production?
Our Austrian fixers arrange municipal filming permits, coordinate police and traffic management for street shoots, secure access to historic and Alpine locations, source local crew and equipment, manage Schengen visa support and ATA Carnets for equipment, and provide continuous on-set logistics throughout the shoot.
