Local access,
when the story
can't wait.

A fixer and field producer based in Lebanon, supporting international broadcasters, documentary crews, and NGOs on the ground — with production coordination backed by 15+ years across BBC News, Al Jazeera, and SBS Dateline.

Field Fixing & Logistics

  • Translation — Arabic/English, on location or remote
  • Access & permits — sources, locations, and official clearance
  • Transport & drivers — arranged and vetted locally
  • Safety briefings — area-specific, before you land

Full Production Support

  • Crew & local hires — coordinated per project
  • Gear sourcing — rental and logistics handled locally
  • Location scouting — vetted in advance of your dates
  • On-the-ground problem solving — during the shoot itself

Creative Development

  • Story & concept development — shaping an idea into a pitchable story
  • Treatment writing — structure, narrative arc, and framing
  • Research — grounding a concept before it goes into production
  • Narrative input — a second, experienced eye during development

I've produced and fixed for international outlets on the ground in Lebanon, and I know what a crew actually needs when they land — not just a translator, but someone who can read a situation, get you access, and keep a shoot on schedule. Based between Athens and Beirut, fluent in English and Arabic, with an established network across Lebanon and the wider region — I can be on the ground on short notice, or bring in additional trusted local support when a project needs a bigger footprint.
