Local Fixer in Croatia – Edo Šturlić

As a local fixer in Croatia, I support productions of all sizes — from small shoots to large international projects — with location services, permits, logistics, and on-the-ground coordination. I help teams navigate local systems, solve practical challenges, and keep filming running smoothly within local regulations.

Who I Am

1

My name is Edo Šturlić, a Croatia-based fixer and location professional with over 14 years of hands-on experience in international film, television, documentary, and commercial production.

I started my career from the ground up, working as a runner and driver on international productions filming in Croatia.

Over the years, I progressed through roles including camera assistant, location assistant, production assistant, logistics coordinator, location manager, and fixer.

This background allows me to understand productions from both a creative and operational perspective — and to anticipate issues before they become problems.

Experience & International Credits

Throughout my career, I’ve worked on a wide range of productions, from documentaries and TV series to commercials and feature films.

I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with international broadcasters and production companies such as BBC, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, ITV, Tokyo Broadcasting System, Oxford Film and Television, and others.

This experience has shaped a practical, solutions-oriented approach to fixer work — focused on clear communication, realistic planning, and reliable local execution.

What I Do as a Fixer in Croatia

As a local fixer, I act as the main point of contact between international productions and local systems.
My role is to bridge creative intentions with local realities, ensuring ideas can be executed smoothly, legally, and efficiently.

Fixer support typically includes:

  • Location management and location coordination

  • Communication with local authorities, municipalities, police, and public services

  • Permit research and coordination

  • Local logistics planning and on-set support

  • Real-time problem-solving during filming

Support can be provided as standalone fixer services or integrated with broader location services and video production services in Croatia.

Location Management & Permits

A significant part of fixer work involves location management and filming permits.

I support productions by:

  • Researching filming permissions and location availability

  • Advising on permit requirements, timelines, and filming fees

  • Coordinating with city administrations, municipalities, and private property owners

  • Ensuring filming complies with local regulations and location-specific conditions

This helps productions plan schedules and budgets with realistic expectations, avoiding delays or last-minute complications.

On-Set Fixer Support & Filming Day Coordination

5

During filming days, I provide on-set fixer support and coordination, helping productions stay focused on shooting while local logistics are handled efficiently.

This includes:

  • Managing location access and filming conditions

  • Coordinating local transport and logistics

  • Supporting communication between departments and local contacts

  • Handling unforeseen challenges as they arise

My goal on set is simple: keep things moving smoothly without unnecessary friction.

Fixer Support with Integrated Drone Filming

6

In addition to fixer services, I can also support productions with aerial filming when required.

I am a licensed drone pilot, operating my own drone in compliance with local regulations. This allows productions to:

  • Capture aerial footage during location scouting or filming days

  • Combine fixer support and drone filming without adding extra crew

  • Move faster when aerial shots are needed for reference, documentation, or final footage

Drone filming can be provided as part of fixer support or as a standalone service, depending on production needs and permits.

Fixer Support in Croatia & Bosnia

While Croatia is my primary base, I also support productions filming in the wider region, including fixer support in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Through trusted regional collaborators, I assist with:

  • Cross-border coordination

  • Regional location management

  • Local permits and regulations

  • Multi-country filming logistics

This is especially useful for productions planning shoots across Croatia and the Western Balkans.
