Film · TV · Commercials

The operating layer for production work.

Film and TV still hire by hand: group chats, favors, invoices. FIXER runs the work end to end: verified people, contracts, protected payments and payouts, on-demand help on set, profiles drafted by AI. Built, tested and live, starting with FIXER Go in Los Angeles.

The problem

A giant industry, run by hand.

Crews are freelance and booked fast, often for a single day. The work behind every booking is still manual.

  1. Group chats and word of mouth

    A gaffer for Thursday is found by forwarding a message until someone answers.

  2. Nobody is checked

    Anyone can claim a credit or a company name. The production finds out on set.

  3. No real contract

    Scope, dates and rate live in a chat thread that nobody can find when something goes wrong.

  4. Late payments

    Freelancers chase invoices long after the wrap, with nothing to hold on to.

FIXER automates the hire: a verified person, a contract both sides sign, and a payment secured before the work starts, released when the work is delivered. No chasing, no guessing.

The product

The rails are built. And tested.

Identity, contracts, payments, payouts, disputes and bookings run on one account. FIXER Go is the first live wedge.

Help on set. On demand.

Describe the job in one line, like “pick up the prepaid order at the store, bring it to Stage 5”. FIXER turns it into a task with a price guide, and you book an approved runner.

  • Five kinds of jobs today: pick up and drop off, wardrobe and store returns, prepaid order pickups, sealed food and ice, base-to-set hops. More about FIXER Go
  • Card hold at booking (about 3 days before a run that starts later), charged on confirmation, or automatically two hours after delivery unless a problem is reported; photos at pickup and drop-off, and a handoff code.
  • Runners approved by FIXER staff: identity, documents, vehicle, insurance and the Runner Agreement.
  • Later: other jobs, such as crew for a day and making (props and builds).
FIXER Go on a phone, step 3 of 3, Choose your runner. Your trusted runner Alex R. is listed, and Book fastest is selected: the offer goes to the best matches nearby, the first yes books, never above $330. The button reads Book fastest, up to $330.

Hire on contract. Get paid on delivery.

Post a job, verified talent applies, you send a contract. When the talent accepts, the client's card is charged and FIXER holds the payment until the work is delivered.

  • Signed in the app by both sides, with up to two change requests.
  • Paid out on delivery: when the client confirms, or automatically 14 days after the latest submission, unless changes are requested or a dispute is opened; resubmission restarts the clock.
  • Disputes put the payment on hold until FIXER decides.
  • 15% fee, paid by the client on top. The talent receives the full agreed price.
The contract as the client sees it in FIXER, under Chat details: Camera operator, 3 shoot days, $1,800, with the line plus $270.00 FIXER service fee (15%) equals $2,070.00 total, the client Harbor Light Pictures, and a status timeline from deal submitted to contract started.

Trust

Verified by default.

Everyone can join. Only verified people can work: deals and FIXER Go never run without full verification. Each layer is checked, not self-declared.

  1. 01Join

    Make a profile, show your work, find people and talk. Free, 18+.

  2. 02Identity

    A phone code, a card check, a government ID and a live selfie, checked with Stripe Identity. Required for anyone who hires or works.

  3. 03Companies

    A business e-mail on the company's own domain (free e-mail is not accepted) plus the identity of the person who represents it. Individuals who hire for themselves have limits: $2,000 per deal or run, $5,000 per month.

  4. 04Talent & runners

    Identity plus every document the work needs: a payout account for talent; for runners, documents, vehicle, insurance, the Runner Agreement and approval by FIXER staff.

  • Quality-first feed

    The show-reel feed only shows work that passes a quality check, and every post is moderated.

  • Contracts and disputes

    Both sides sign in the app. Either side can open a dispute before the money is released; FIXER staff decide.

  • Payments through Stripe

    Charges, holds and payouts run on Stripe. The 15% fee is always shown before anyone commits.

Why now · Why us

AI-native. Built by filmmakers.

  • Verification became an API call

    Checking every person on a set used to take a back office. Today an ID and a live selfie are checked in minutes, for a small fee.

  • AI can read a reel

    A profile that took an evening to fill in can be drafted from links and clips, so a crew member is ready to be hired the day they join.

  • Payments can wait for the work

    Stripe lets a marketplace secure the money when the offer is accepted and pay out on delivery, so nobody works on trust alone.
