I Am Not Just a Fixer. I Am a Producer Who Fixes.

35+ Years in the Industry. 20 Years in India. One Simple Rule: No Surprises.

There is a difference between a "local contact" and a Line Producer. A local contact knows a guy who owns a van. A Line Producer knows why that van needs to be on set at 06:00 sharp, why the generator needs 100% redundancy, and why "tomorrow" is not an acceptable answer when you have a satellite uplink scheduled for today.

I am Tony Cordeaux.

I started my career in London in 1989. For 17 years, I worked in the UK television industry as a Producer, Director, and Editor. I know the discipline of a Western set. I know the pressure of a network deadline.

In 2006, I moved to India. I saw international crews arriving with high hopes and leaving with broken schedules, defeated by the chaos of "Indian Stretchable Time."

I founded Goa Film Services to be the antidote to that chaos. My job is to stand between you and the bureaucracy, translating your Western requirements into Indian reality so you never have to compromise your standards.

The Translator of Production Culture

You don't need someone to translate Hindi; you have Google for that. You need someone to translate Production Culture.

The Western Mindset: You treat the Call Sheet as a contract. You expect transparency in billing. You prioritize safety above all else.
The Indian Reality: "Yes" often means "I'll try." Timelines are fluid. Safety standards vary wildly.

My Role: I am the bridge. Because I have lived and worked on both sides, I can anticipate the friction points before they happen.

When a local vendor says, "It will be there soon," I know exactly how many hours "soon" actually means, and I have a backup plan already in motion. I don't just facilitate your shoot; I protect your peace of mind.

Why I Am Not for Everyone

If you are looking for the cheapest option, I am not your guy. There are plenty of aggregators who will promise you the moon for a rock-bottom price. They will "yes" you to death until the day of the shoot.

I am the "No" Man.

I will tell you "No" if your schedule is physically impossible on Indian roads.
I will tell you "No" if your visa strategy puts your crew at risk of deportation.
I will tell you "No" if a location looks great but sounds like a construction site.

I provide Western Standards, Natively. That means truth, transparency, and a level of logistical rigour that most local fixers simply don't understand.

Battle-Tested on the Biggest Shows

I don't just book hotels; I avoid crises and manage them when necessary.

For The Crown (Netflix): I didn't just find a street in Kolkata; I managed the entire production in India, including crew, equipment, locations, schedule and budget for a high-profile promo in one of the world's most densely populated cities.
For The Letters (Feature Film): I convinced a Hollywood Director that we could double Goa for 1940s Europe, saving the production millions in unit moves. That wasn't "fixing"—that was Creative Producing.
For Ed Stafford (Discovery): We hauled a ton of 4K equipment into hostile, high-altitude environments without a single day lost to logistics.

When You Call, You Get Me.

I am not a salesperson. I don't hand you off to a junior account manager once the contract is signed.

When you hire me, you get me.

I am always available to discuss your script, your budget, and your fears. Let's talk about how we can get your shoot done safely, legally, and beautifully.
