Global Producers provides film fixers in Jordan for international features, documentaries, television and commercial shoots. Support includes location recce, access enquiries, permit coordination, local crew, equipment, transport and daily filming arrangements across Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba and the Dead Sea.
The appointment identifies the locations covered, the preparation required and the local support needed for each part of the itinerary. Recce findings, application status, supplier availability and proposed movements are checked against the production’s dates and requirements.
What Film Fixers in Jordan Manage
What a Fixer Covers Day to Day
A film fixer in Jordan checks location conditions, coordinates the assigned local crew and suppliers, and confirms transport and equipment arrangements against the shooting schedule. Changes to access, setups or working hours are referred to the relevant owner or authority and the production’s designated decision-maker.
For shoots covering several regions, the fixing team maintains the location contacts, application records and local arrangements for each leg. Outstanding permissions, changes in availability and additional costs are reported to the producer or line producer before commitments are made outside the agreed authority.
Film Permits and RFC Coordination
The Royal Film Commission is Jordan’s national facilitation point for film productions, but it assists and coordinates rather than acting as the single authority for every approval. Its published role covers help with the permits a production needs, customs support for bringing equipment in and out, location scouting, access to a production directory of local crew and vendors, and coordination with the relevant public and private bodies.
The permissions required depend on the location and proposed activity. The fixing team checks the relevant application route, owner consent and any additional requirements for heritage sites, public spaces, sensitive areas or aerial filming. Applications in progress are recorded separately from confirmed permissions.
Preparing Applications and Tracking Responses
The fixing team assembles the required project information, checks that dates and location details are consistent, and follows up on outstanding documents and authority responses. Requirements for film permits in Jordan depend on the production and proposed locations; application timing is confirmed for the specific request.
Amman as an Operating Base for Jordan Shoots
Amman can serve as a preparation base for crew meetings, equipment checks and supplier coordination. Whether the unit stays in the capital or uses accommodation near regional locations depends on the shooting order, transport requirements and working hours.
Our film fixers in Amman coordinate city-specific recce, access enquiries and local filming arrangements. For itineraries continuing beyond the capital, regional contacts and support are confirmed for each location.
Locations and Regional Logistics
Planning for filming in Jordan starts with the specific locations and activities in the brief. The fixing team records access requirements, available facilities, supplier options and movement arrangements for each regional leg.
Desert, Heritage and Coastal Sites
For Wadi Rum, preparation checks include vehicle access, equipment movements, communications, power, water and the support required by the production’s safety plan. At Petra, the requested areas, setups, equipment positions and filming hours are confirmed with the relevant site contacts. Dead Sea and Aqaba enquiries address the particular property or shoreline involved, with marine or port arrangements checked where the brief requires them.
Moving a Unit Between Regions
Regional moves are planned around the shooting order, loading requirements, crew travel, accommodation and access at the next location. The fixing team confirms local transport and supplier arrangements and reports any unresolved requirements that affect the proposed move. Travel and preparation time are assessed for the actual itinerary rather than assuming every location can be covered from one base.
Local Crew, Equipment and Vendors
The fixing team checks crew availability and equipment options against the production’s departmental requirements and dates. Quotations identify the personnel or package supplied, working hours, overtime, transport and other relevant conditions. Where a requirement cannot be met locally, the alternatives and associated travel or freight costs are referred to the production for approval.
Equipment Entry and Customs Coordination
For equipment arriving from abroad, the production confirms the applicable entry and re-export requirements with its appointed shipping and clearance company, with RFC assistance where appropriate. The fixing team supplies the requested local information and coordinates equipment movements within its appointment. Do not assume that a particular customs document or route applies without confirmation.
Supplier Quotations and Booking Authority
Supplier comparisons cover availability, inclusions, delivery arrangements, cancellation terms and payment requirements. The appointment identifies who approves quotations, places bookings and authorises additional expenditure. The fixing team keeps the agreed records and refers changes outside its authority to the production.
Fixer and Line Producer Responsibilities
The fixing appointment defines the local recce, access, application coordination and shoot-day support required. It can include authorised crew and supplier bookings, with responsibilities and spending limits agreed for the production.
Our line producer in Jordan coordinates the wider production budget, schedule and supplier commitments within the agreed appointment. Fixing and line production can be engaged separately or together.

The Jordan film fixer appointment records the locations covered, preparation and shoot days, local personnel, supplier responsibilities, reporting arrangements and approval limits. Outstanding access or application requirements remain visible as the itinerary develops.
