US Fixers
You've got a project that needs to be filmed in the US, but you're not there. How do you go about arranging your project when you can't get there till the day of? Keep reading! Say you're in the UK and what you're looking for is a local fixer to organize the logistical details for you. Guess what... there aren't "fixers" in the US. That's a British term, so no matter how many searches you do, you're not going to get the plethora of contacts who can help you that you're hoping for. This is what we do. I have over 12 years experience in showbiz/live music Production Management. My partner has been a UK Television Producer and Celebrity Booker for the same amount of time. We're setting up shop right now, so m0re info and resources for YOU will be announced shortly, but this is our first step into that role. Even though we're not completely up and running, we can still function... efficient quick-hits, you know? Anyway, if you're in need, give me a shout.

What is the US equivalent of a fixer?
US companies don't use fixers in the US (though I ask myself what they do when they shoot abroad). They tend to just use small production companies or a production manager. In my experience and research among UK media entities, there really isn't anyone in the US who combines all services like a true fixer: i.e. securing all production gear, necessary production crew, location scouting, securing permits, and booking interviews, accommodations/travel etc.
If you're looking to fill a specific position for a project in LA, (like a director or a studio editor,) you can check www.craigslist.org - a widely used resource in the US; especially within the art/music/media industries. If you need more of a full-service fixer, or if your project is larger, let me know. I may be able to help you.
