Film permits - Fixer in Brazil - Award Winning Productions.

Fixer Brazil and OTW, a content agency from Sweden, partnered to produce the Brazilian episode of Volvo Penta Boating Dreams series.

Shot in São Paulo, Barueri and Ubatuba, the episode showcases the Osse family building their own boat to travel from Brazil to Alaska.

Kerstin, the producer, and Ake, the DP, traveled from the cold Gothenburg to São Paulo to join Tomaz, the Fixer, Clara, sound recordist, and Felipe, the driver. We had two days of shooting in São Paulo and Barueri, at Osse’s place, and two days in Ubatuba, at the beautiful Saco da Ribeira beach and surroundings.

Tomaz, from Fixer Brazil and 10e20 Filmes, was in charge of drone aerial shots with the Mavic Air, following all regulations from ANAC – National Civil Aviation Agency.

Fixer Brazil rented the Sony FS7 camera with lenses kit and accessories in São Paulo, what made everything easier for the foreign crew to travel light to Brazil.
