Introduction to Film Production in Malta
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.
Malta 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 Malta?
The Malta Film Commission serves as the primary permit authority, coordinating across government departments. Heritage site filming requires Superintendence of Cultural Heritage approval. Church-owned properties need ecclesiastical permission. Road closures require police coordination. Our fixers manage the entire process through the Film Commission's one-stop-shop system.
How does Malta's cash rebate programme work?
Malta offers a cash rebate of up to 40% on qualifying Maltese expenditure, with additional bonuses for filming during off-peak season or using Maltese cultural elements. Applications go through the Malta Film Commission. Our fixers help structure your production spend to maximise the rebate and prepare all required documentation.
Can Malta double for other Mediterranean locations?
Yes — Malta regularly doubles for ancient Rome, the Middle East, Greece, and North Africa. Productions like Gladiator, Troy, and Game of Thrones have used Malta's architecture and coastline. Our fixers have extensive experience coordinating location dressing and period shoots across the islands.
What does a typical fixer handle on a Maltese production?
Our Maltese fixers arrange Malta Film Commission permits, coordinate with local councils for road closures, manage Malta Film Studios bookings, source local crew and equipment, handle Schengen visa support for non-EU crew, arrange ferry logistics for Gozo filming, and provide on-set coordination throughout the production.
