Welcome to Vietnam Filming Fixer, here will help you to find the best solutions for your filming in Vietnam trip!
First, let’s take a look at what do you need for your filming trip in Vietnam.
Either researching for the filming trip, finding interviewees, identifying locations and schedule, applying for permits, arrange car service, translation, booking accommodation and all other logistic matters, you can find a solution with us.
As a Client, the one who is paying, you want to choose a fixer service that is worth your time and money. Someone can understand what you want and can accommodate it, someone who go directly to the point and save your time. You don’t necessarily choose the cheapest, though you prefer to save more so you can have more profit. You understand the relationship between cost and quality. Certainly, you need to “shop around” and check with many fixer services to learn about price and how things work to find the most suitable one for your project. Although there are many other fixer services, you should choose us because:
We have direct access to the press authority. Usually when you work with other fixer services, you need to hire a fixer and a press officer and pay for both people, while with our service, you just need to hire one person. It’s very helpful if you want to save cost, as well as you just need to communicate with one person instead of 2. And if you have a small crew and you want to minimize the number of people involve, we’re your best choice.
But even if you have a big crew which need a lot more of fixers than just one person, we have more experienced freelance fixers which can join to make the project a success.
We’re not money-hungry, although we work for a profit and we all have bills to pay, and we don’t believe in being the cheapest, we believe in being the most effective with reasonable price. We believe that all parties need to feel comfortable. And we will always send you a clear quote, without hidden fees or anything surprise in the end. And for any expenses, we will try our best to get receipt/invoice. We want our Clients to be happy and satisfied.
Not only that we have a wide knowledge, experiences and network with people to serve for the filming project, we’re eager to learn more and research more to meet any new and unique and special request of Clients.
Responsiveness: we always try to answer as fast as possible and as clearly as possible.
Professionalism: you don’t have to worry to deal with people who have a lot of ego or immature, we are grown up and work professionally.
Straight-forward: if we don’t know something, or we haven’t been to certain places, we will let you know. We won’t say we know something when in actual, we don’t. You don’t have to try to read our mind, we will speak our mind because it will make everything easier.

Khuyen is incredibly hard working and worked tirelessly for our production along with the rest of her team. We were a huge UK crew producing a high end comedy travelogue with that came a lot of demands!! We came away with everything we asked for and more and managed to pull off more than a few miracles along the way.

I worked on a production for 18 days across Vietnam with Khuyen and she was on top of every detail during our shoot. We had 14 crew members with different diets and needs and she accommodated everyone perfectly. I can’t recommend her enough!

My production company shot fitness content with Khuyen for 18 days in Vietnam, and the experience was beyond great! Right off the bat, Khuyen was extremely responsive, and answered all of our questions. All the way through pre-production, she was attentive, immediately responded to emails, and was extremely helpful. Once we arrived in Vietnam, Khuyen was with us every step of the way. She was friendly, considerate, and extremely thorough and helpful. We had a total of 14 crew members, with a lot of different needs and asks, and she was able to seamlessly assist us. We traveled from Hanoi, all the way down to Da Nang, and Khuyen was knowledgable and helpful in every city we filmed in. She helped us secure filming permits, and handled all of our accommodations. Even down to finding restaurants, and helping the crew arrange for laundry pickup. No task was too small or too big for her to handle. We filmed every location we wanted to, and Khuyen made the entire process easy. Because of this wonderful experience, we now consider Khuyen a friend, and hope we get to come back to Vietnam to visit her again. I would highly recommend her to any production considering filming in Vietnam. She is knowledgable, has strong connections with local authorities and the film office, and can handle any needs your production may have. 10 / 10 experience!

I’m an American documentary filmmaker and I hired Khuyen twice, once in 2016 and once in 2019. Her skills are extraordinary – her language translation and interpretation skills are impeccable and she is a real problem solver. Also, she is very organized and skilled in logistics. Morever, she is a good, kind and engaging person to be with and to talk to. I highly recommend Vietnam Filming Fixer and Khuyen for any filming needs in Vietnam.

After three years in the making and one year waiting because of the pandemic, the film is finally coming out in Quebec and it’s a success thanks to you ! Planning and execution was both impeccable and friendly, with some flexibility to allow for unplanned magical moments to happen. I recommend this team from the bottom of my heart and wish you many more shoots to come !

Khuyen worked with myself and a team from Sky News to cover the meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-Un in February 2019. In addition to many other things Khuyen worked tirelessly to ensure that our dedicated Internet connectivity was fit for purpose, installed on time and in the right place. When we had some technical issues Khuyen was straight on the case to get these problems resolved. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Khuyen, a truly dedicated, multi-tasking fixer.

Khuyen and I worked together on a couple of occasions and I came to know her as a dedicated, enthusiastic and sincere person. She’s a hard worker and takes her job serious and is kind at the same time. Highly recommended!
January 10, 2020
We were very happy with Khuyen’s services. She was completely clear about the process right from the start and everything worked exactly as she had told us it would do. Her prices are very reasonable and she provides an excellent service. We would certainly use her again

I had a very good working experience with Khuyen in 2019. We began to collaborate during the preparation of the filming, and then spent two weeks together for the shooting in Vietnam, and the whole process went very well. Khuyen is reliable, attentive, hard-working, and responsive. I would like to stress her easy contact, her relevance and curiosity, which are deeply helpful for the preparation/researches, the interviews and the entire editorial process. We had a great time working together.

Khuyen is essentially a very diligent person and has very good PR skills. She was our translator for some research we were doing in Hanoi on the great leader Ho Chi Minh in 2018. Not only did she do a very good job translating on the spot our meetings with officials, she even offered to translate and transcribe all the recordings after that. A very pleasant and knowledgeable young lady.
January 10, 2020
Khuyen worked as the lead fixer for Sky News for the US-DPRK summit in Hanoi February 2019. She assisted with the recce, made all the logistical preparations for our live point, set up our shooting schedule for preview reports, and oversaw two crews during the summit itself. I would 100% recommend Khuyen: she is highly organised, very hard working, gets what you need done, and all with a smile.
January 10, 2020
Khuyen is great, reliable, hard working and so Professional. I highly recommend her services.
January 10, 2020
I confirm that I worked with Khuyen, and I was really satisfied of this cooperation:-) She is very positive person, helpful and engaged in her work.

I worked with Khuyen Tuong in Vietnam last year (2017) and the experience was positive. She assisted me with a Natural History shoot that I was doing in two locations and everything ran smoothly.
January 10, 2020
I would like to confirm with you that my firm UniAction and I, have personally been working with Khuyen last year (2017) while were we filming in Vietnam. Our crew of 12 people travelled together from Southern to Northern Vietnam. Khuyen is an exceptional person. Very respectful, competent, friendly, resourceful, knowledgeable, patience, helpful, manage to arrange and fix things that occurs unexpectedly. It was a great pleasure working with her!
Why getting a fixer in Vietnam?
Though you may have so many experiences filming around the world, though you can find an English speaking driver by yourself, there are still many barriers which would be totally helpful to have a local fixer to work with you in Vietnam, such as: permit, language/translation, local culture and customs, best places to film, getting equipment.
It’s helpful to have someone flexible and adapt with changes quickly, as filming has a lot of changes. It will save much more time and effort rather than you have to figure out things on your own.
