Filming in Italy is a dream for many production companies, content creators and agencies. With its rich visual heritage, iconic architecture, breathtaking landscapes and historical cities, Italy is the perfect backdrop for commercials, music videos, documentaries and feature films.
But dreams can easily turn into logistical nightmares if you don’t have the right local support. That’s why 8Feet Fixer exists — to make your Italian shooting experience smooth, professional, and entirely stress-free.
Whether you need equipment rental in Italy, location scout services, location permits or a local film crew, we’ve got you covered. If you’re thinking “I need a fixer in Italy“, you’re in the right place.
