Introduction to Film Production in Iceland
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.
Iceland 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 Iceland?
Iceland requires permits from landowners (private or communal), municipal authorities, and the Environment Agency for protected areas including national parks, nature reserves, and highland zones. Glacier filming needs additional safety assessments. Our fixers coordinate all permits and landowner negotiations across your locations.
How does Iceland's reimbursement scheme work?
Iceland offers a 25% reimbursement on qualifying Icelandic production costs. Applications are submitted through the Icelandic Film Centre before production begins. Our fixers help prepare applications, track qualifying expenditures, and coordinate with local production accountants to maximise your reimbursement.
How do you handle Iceland's weather challenges?
Our fixers build weather contingency days into every schedule, monitor Icelandic Met Office forecasts continuously, maintain relationships with local guides who know micro-climates, and pre-arrange backup locations. For highland and glacier work, we coordinate with ICE-SAR and ensure all safety equipment and protocols are in place.
What does a typical fixer provide on an Icelandic production?
Our Icelandic fixers arrange landowner permissions and environmental permits, coordinate super-jeep and helicopter transport for remote locations, source from Iceland's skilled crew pool, manage weather contingency plans, handle Schengen visa support for non-EEA crew, and provide on-the-ground logistics from pre-production through wrap.
