Anna Bucks - ITV
“Virgile worked for me, setting up a short documentary about the French election for ITV. In the pre-production stages he managed to set up some great contributors and locations, and sort out filming permissions in a very short space of time. He was always easy to get in touch with throughout, and good at coming up with his own thoughts on what to film. On the shoot he was a pleasure to work with, quick at responding to our changing requests and his translations in interviews were spot on. All in all he was a great person to have on the shoot and I’d thoroughly recommend him.”

“Virgile was a fantastic fixer, researcher and associate producer for our shark documentary. During the pre-production stage, he had continuous updates for me, even when I didn’t ask for them. He was very organized and prepared detailed documents sharing with me the progress of all their work. He was available for regular phone calls regarding his responsibilities and he exceeded all expectations. I would absolutely hire him again.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Virgile Demoustier, and I would emphatically recommend him to anyone seeking a fixer, interpreter or researcher in France. Virgile and I have worked together on a number of stories, including the migrant camp in Calais and the Paris terrorist attacks of 2015. In every situation he’s been a valuable asset to my reporting efforts. Virgile is fully fluent in English and French. He deeply understands how journalists operate, how they think, what they need and how to best support their work. He is an excellent interpreter, with an ear for nuance. He is also a dogged researcher, who knows where to look for information. He can work fast, with a healthy appreciation for deadlines, and he stays cool in a crisis. Virgile is also a delight personally, with a keen sense of humour and a willingness to take on any challenge, large or small. He has my highest regard, and my highest recommendation.”
