Jean-Pascal Gautier: Your Fixer in France

Early Life and Education

Originally born and raised in Normandy, I pursued studies in Management & Communication at the University of Caen. In 1994, I moved to Paris to enter the film industry.

1994

Career Beginnings 

Upon arriving in Paris, I quickly secured positions on some of the largest feature film projects of the time. From the mid-90s to 2008, I worked intensively on feature films, TV dramas, premium documentaries, and prime-time TV shows both in France and internationally.

1994-2008

Professional Growth

I became a trusted Unit Location Manager, taking on significant responsibilities, including managing complex logistics and coordinating up to 500 crew members and talents daily on set. My work involved handling challenging French and international projects, contributing to my reputation for reliability and expertise.

Expanding Roles

In 2005, while continuing as a Unit Location Manager, I graduated from the French Institut National de l’Audiovisuel with a major in Producing and Live Broadcast. This enabled me to produce and direct TV shows and series for notable broadcasters such as Disney, Canal+, and France Television. I specialized in entertainment shows, including kids’ series, cooking shows, automotive programs, comedy, and live stand-up performances.

2005-Present

A New Challenge

By early 2010, the demand from foreign film crews wanting to shoot in France was increasing. As a well-established producer with a strong production service background, I decided to leverage my diverse expertise in film production to assist these foreign productions in France.

Founding France-Film-Fixer

This led to the founding of France-Film-Fixer. Today, along with my dedicated team, I am proud and grateful to assist some of the biggest names in the industry with their shoots in France, contributing to the creation of remarkable stories.
