Iceland production support · Location scout / fixer
Iceland on camera. Grounded in a workable plan.
Iceland-based production coordination, location scouting and field logistics for international crews
working on roads, glaciers, coasts and remote terrain.
I turn a creative brief into grounded location options, then check the practical details that make
or break them: vehicle and crew access, parking, basecamp, unit moves, equipment carry, wind,
daylight, nearby services and a credible weather alternative.

Primary choice plus Plan B
02 / Fix
Production fixing
Local suppliers, transport, accommodation, landowner and permit coordination, schedules and crew
movements are brought into one field plan. You get one person who sees how each decision affects
the rest of the shoot.
Local research and coordination
Transport and accommodation
Supplier and access liaison
On-the-ground shoot support
03 / Field
Remote field logistics
Specialist briefs need more than a pin on a map. Glacier, mountain, winter-road, coastal, marine
and cold-water work is supported by years of guiding, driving, rescue-minded planning and dive
experience in demanding environments.

Production feasibility
A beautiful location is not enough.
Before the crew commits, I look at the whole operating picture—so the creative choice can survive the
Icelandic day around it.
Daylight, sun direction, wind exposure, tides, seasonal limits, road status and forecast windows.
Support
What must be close—or brought in?
Basecamp, toilets, power, catering, fuel, accommodation, local suppliers and emergency options.
Contingency
What happens when Iceland changes the plan?
A second location, revised timings and realistic decisions made before the weather makes them for us.
Field reality informs every production plan.

Iceland production and location support across scouting, access, transport, accommodation, equipment
movement and local coordination—connecting the creative brief with what could work on the ground.
The person on the ground
Field experience, not just local contacts.
I’m Paweł Maczuch—an Iceland-based production coordinator, location scout/fixer and field logistics
specialist.
My background runs through glacier guiding, 4×4 and coach driving, scuba instruction, first aid and
years of operating in Iceland’s changing conditions. That means I can speak with a producer about the
schedule, with a driver about the road and with a crew about what the location demands.

Location options are checked against access, timing, conditions, services and alternatives.
03
Build the field plan
Transport, accommodation, suppliers, permissions, unit moves and contingency come together.
04
Support the shoot
Clear local coordination on the ground, with fast adjustments when conditions change.
