The 100-kilometer-long border between Lithuania and Poland, the so-called Suwalki Gap, is the only land connection between the Baltic states and their NATO allies.
"fixers.press are not only hard workers, but work – when necessary – fast and, above all, well: they got my team right to the point. The fixer was very knowledgeable and a very good communicator so the exchanges helped in getting a more precise angle and a better final product. I also learnt a lot I didn’t know about the places we worked in and got a better picture of something I only had a rough idea about. When you put all of this together, you have an enjoyable working experience and great results. I’d recommend, if possible, to give them preparation time: for us, it was definitely worth it!"

"Having access to fixers.press network in the Ida-Virumaa region was invaluable for my documentary project. Their profound understanding of the region's nuances, coupled with their insights into the Estonian-Russian identity, significantly enriched our collaboration. They demonstrated remarkable responsiveness when we encountered challenges, consistently delivering solutions that not only optimized our time but also contributed substantially to the success of my photo documentary. Their expertise played a crucial role in securing unique interviews, gaining access to sensitive locations, and achieving my project's broader goals."

Unlike Canada, Estonia meets, and even exceeds, the NATO target. The small Baltic country of barely 1.5 million inhabitants devotes 2.73% of its GDP to its defense, which places it fourth in the alliance. But in its case, the pressure comes from its Russian neighbor, especially since the invasion of Ukraine.
"It was a pleasure working with fixers.press. We needed to organise remote filming with two high profile interviewees at very short notice for an international documentary series. They quickly and efficiently set about making everything possible - from scouting locations to organising crew and gear. The interviews looked fantastic and everyone on set was really professional in dealing both the documentary team and the people we were interviewing. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again."

VRT crew confronts the memories of the Soviet past in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. How do they deal with the suffering of the Soviet era and how does their vulnerable situation determine their fear of Russia today?
"I was thoroughly impressed by fixers.press throughout my reportage on Latvia's depopulation problem. They were responsive and super-helpful from first contact, and the fixer they arranged for me, proved knowledgeable, imaginative and highly efficient, suggesting potential interviewees and fixing appointments. Their organisation efforts allowed me to concentrate on the story, which would have been a lot more difficult - and a lot less powerful - without the help of fixers.press."

"I had the chance to work with fixers.press in Vilnius for 3 days. We were working on two different stories for both radio and TV. The fixer was of great help, well organized, and found the right person to help us illustrate our topic. Not only was the fixer organized, but also helped us with more last-minute requests to find people to talk to and had a great aptitude to introduce the team and the project to the people we needed to interview and explain what we were doing. I recommend working with fixers.press."
Raphaël Bouvier-Auclair
Correspondent at Radio Canada
"My thanks from all the team for the amazing research and coordination of our shoot for the Travel Series broadcasted on the National TV Channel TG4 to super ratings in 2022. They listened carefully to the brief and helped bring an efficient, cost effective, hugely interesting, high production valued programme to our audience."
