A bespoke production partner for the brands, agencies and studios shooting in Ireland. One producer who carries the whole thing, a hand-picked crew, and every location, permit and Section 481 detail in place before you arrive.
We make shooting in Ireland feel effortless, and look extraordinary.
Commercials and films from the directors, fixers and crew behind IrelandFixer and the wider HiJack network, fashion, sport, drinks, retail and tourism.
IrelandFixer doesn't fly crew in from somewhere else. We run jobs through a working network of producers, location managers and crew based in Ireland. International productions get a single, accountable contact and a team that's already on the ground when the shoot day comes.
How we're set up: IrelandFixer is a service partner, not a production company in the usual sense. We don't develop, finance or own the IP. What we add beyond the fixing is creative on request: when a brief needs a director or a creative lead attached, we know the Irish directors to call and bring the right one onto the job. The production still owns the work.
IrelandFixer is run by Jack Cowhig, an Irish producer with years of international production behind him, with a hand-picked local team on the ground in Ireland. One accountable contact, and a crew that is already there when the shoot day comes.
The team has made and delivered the kind of work above for brands, agencies and broadcasters. Arrive with an idea, leave with a finished film. IrelandFixer is one of three territories inside HiJack Production Services, alongside ScottishFixer and FixerSydney.
