Proven Expertise
Hear from Satisfied Clients
“Elsa worked with us as the Madeira fixer on our production ‘Martin Clunes: Islands of the Atlantic’. Her work was first class. She helped with early local research, including finding us contributors and locations, managed all the permits and permissions ahead of filming and then ensured that each and every filming day passed smoothly with the minimum of fuss. Elsa quickly fitted in with our small production crew and became an indispensable member of the team. She is also excellent company. I would not hesitate in recommending Elsa.'
Russell England Producer/Director, Islands of the Atlantic
"I can't say enough great things about Elsa (and Daniel!). Not only was their production planning flawless but they were just a pleasure to spend the days with. They worked so well with our budget and needs and I felt so confident having them as our fixers. Crew, clients, talent, and everyone involved loved them. Again, I can't say enough about how smooth they made everything feel and how easily they solved everything thrown at them. Laughs all around. I only wish I had more plans to shoot in Madeira so I could use them again. I will be sending anyone I can their way!”
Lex Hinson EP/Producer, Stept Studios, Los Angeles."
"If there was such a thing as a 100 star review, I would give it to Elsa and her team. We had a small LA based crew to produce an incredibly technical shoot on the Island of Madeira. We are so lucky that we found Elsa to help bring our project to life. She is one of the best fixers our team has ever worked with. Not only was our production team impressed, but so was the client who travelled with us. Elsa and her partner, Daniel, are absolute professionals.”
