Our dual perspective — production logistics AND visual storytelling — means FAB FIXERS understands your creative vision and find solutions that serve the story, not just the schedule.

In 2023, FAB FIXERS coordinated an exclusive interview with French President Macron at the Elysée Presidential Palace in Paris, for the acclaimed PBS docu series A Brief History of the Future.
FAB FIXERS’ work includes coordinating production for the documentary Why We Dream commissioned by Delta Air Lines for DDay 80 (2024), overseeing the making of Airbnbx Musée d’Orsay experience for the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics (2024), and covering Red Bull’s Road to BC1 breakdance competition (2022).
FAB FIXERS has worked with prominent news organisations like National Geographic, the Washington Post, the Economist, PBS, the BBC, Vice News and ABC Australia, and brands like the NBA, Apple TV, Chanel, the Lonely Planet or EA Sports.
