B&T Film › Film fixer in Austria
Your film fixer in Austria — local in the Salzkammergut
English-speaking fixer & production service for international shoots in Austria. Based between Hallstatt, the Attersee lakes and Salzburg — permits, locations, crew and the incentive, handled by a team that actually lives here.
One local partner for your whole shoot in Austria
Broadcasters, agencies, brands and production companies book us as their fixer in Austria when they need everything to just work — English-speaking, fast on its feet, and based right where the locations are. From permits and scouting to a full ENG crew and the incentive, one team handles it.
Local fixer & production
Your English-speaking partner on the ground: scheduling, coordination, local liaison and translation. One point of contact who keeps the whole shoot running.
Filming permits & access
Permits, landowner clearances and location access handled for you — outside Vienna usually sorted within a few days, not weeks.
Location scouting
Hallstatt and the Salzkammergut lakes, alpine peaks, Salzburg's baroque old town, industry and studios — we find and secure the right spot.
ENG crew & DOP
Camera operators and Directors of Photography, solo shooter to full ENG team — broadcast-tested for ZDF, SWR, Sat.1 & RTL.
Equipment rental
Sony cinema & ENG bodies (FX6 / FX3), lenses, lighting, drone, gimbal and grip — all from our own rental stock, no third-party chase.
Incentive & budget
We help you plan the shoot so it qualifies for Austria's national incentive (FISA+ / ÖFI+, a significant refund on your Austrian spend) — general guidance, not tax advice.
Logistics & accommodation
Transport, vehicles, catering contacts and hotels near the location — the practical groundwork so your team arrives and shoots.
Post-production
Editing, color grading, sound and motion/3D in-house — broadcast-ready deliverables in any format.
The postcard Austria is right on our doorstep
We're based on the Attersee, in the middle of the Salzkammergut — so Hallstatt, Salzburg, the lakes and the Alps come with short transfers, no travel-day markup, and a crew that knows the terrain, the light and the local offices inside out.
Shooting the cities too? Vienna, Graz and Innsbruck are all a comfortable travel day away — we cover the whole country.

Frequently asked questions
What does a film fixer in Austria actually do?
A fixer is your local production partner on the ground: we arrange filming permits and access, scout and secure locations, book crew and equipment, handle logistics, transport and accommodation, translate and liaise locally, and help you make the most of Austria's film incentive. One English-speaking point of contact from prep to wrap.
Why base your Austria shoot in the Salzkammergut?
Because a lot of the postcard Austria is right here — Hallstatt, the lakes, Salzburg and the Dachstein Alps. We're based on the Attersee, in the middle of it, so you get short transfers, no travel-day markup and a crew that knows the terrain. We can be on a Hallstatt set in about 40 minutes.
Can you get permits to film in Hallstatt and the Salzkammergut?
Yes. Hallstatt is popular and sensitive, so early planning matters — but we know the local municipalities and landowners and handle permits, access and clearances for you. Outside Vienna these are usually sorted within a few days rather than weeks.
How does the Austrian film incentive work?
Austria's national incentives (FISA+ and ÖFI+) refund a significant share of your qualifying spend in Austria. We help you plan the shoot so it qualifies and connect you with the right partners. This is general information, not tax advice.
Do you provide an English-speaking crew as well as fixing?
Yes — we're a working film crew, not just coordinators. Book anything from a single camera operator or DOP to a full ENG team, all English-speaking and broadcast-tested. See our dedicated film crew page for the crew side.
Which regions of Austria do you cover?
The whole country. Our base in the Salzkammergut puts Hallstatt, the lakes, Salzburg, Bad Aussee, the Alps and Upper Austria's industry on our doorstep, and we're regularly in Vienna and the mountains for shoots.
How fast can you turn around a quote?
Send us your dates, locations and setup and we come back within 24–48 hours with availability and a fair estimate — no obligation.
