"Hello! I’m Gilles, fixer, location scout, location manager, operating in the production world for 20 years. Based in the Paris area, I’m used to working all around France, from the Alps to Brittany, from the Côte d’Azur to Strasbourg, including Lyon and Normandy.
My experience and my network facilitate the process of permitting in a short time at the best prices. I constantly add new locations across France to the database, from roads to buildings and, naturally, all the types of landscape France can provide.
Col de Turini, Verdon, Toulon, Marseille, Monaco, Bourgogne, Brittany, Strasbourg, Lyon, Deauville and Paris have all been scouted, permitted and managed in the past months for clients such as Falca Barcelona, Image Nation Barcelona, Production Department Hamburg, Tim Michel Production Hamburg, Prodigious, La PAC and Hanne Evans Nice.
Have a look at my references, ask the producers, DoPs and photographers I work with, and feel free to come to me at the beginning of your project. I will provide you with ideas and find the most adapted location, the best crew possible, and the leading suppliers to achieve it."

Direct Digital
EQUIPMENT RENT
Direct Digital is a leading camera and lighting rental company. Dedicated to the client, in addition to quality kit and consumables, tours and training are always available to share expert knowledge.
The team in Paris offers specialised training to producers, an initiative originally set up at the request of a production company. These training days give producers more technical knowledge and empower them with the basic knowledge of an equipment list, expanding on what elements are required for a shoot (whether it is a large or small production), which helps to understand logistics, distribution on location, and, especially, cost.
Depending on the needs and desires of each individual, the training can be planned over a half day with a quick summary of the fundamentals, or a full day to go into more detail with practical workshops.
