Freelance audio-visual production, fixing, filming and editing

What Freelance audio-visual production, fixing, filming and editing does

Film it in Spain (legal entity: The Arts Workshop S.L.) is a Spain-based freelance production fixer founded in 2007 and operated as a sole proprietorship-style business by Roland Quesnel, a British media professional resident in Spain since 1999. The company provides location scouting, permit acquisition, crew and casting sourcing, production management, on-camera translation, videography, photography, and equipment rental for film, television, advertising, and online-media productions filmed anywhere in Spain, operating from a Malaga (Mijas Costa) base.

Its core offering is human-delivered production-fixing labor and a curated relational asset base — a network of vetted crew, suppliers, casting agencies, and location scouts — rather than a technology product. There is no proprietary software platform, app, or AI tooling; service delivery depends on the founder's multilingual (Spanish, French, English, German) local knowledge, experiential permit navigation, and direct relationships with regional authorities. A website with categorized location galleries (landscapes, road, water, desert, urban, shoots) functions as a lightweight marketing asset supporting pre-production scouting.

Revenue is generated on a project-based professional-services model with a transparent, quote-based pricing structure: no production mark-ups, no hidden commissions, and no permanent staff overhead. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct — website contact form, phone, and email — supplemented by word-of-mouth referrals among international production companies, TV networks, advertising agencies, and independent filmmakers. The business has no external funding, no subsidiaries, and operates without offices or full-time employees beyond the founder.

• Secuoya Studios: Secuoya Studios is a large Spanish audiovisual production and studio operator with content-production and facilities capabilities. It overlaps with production execution but is much broader than a boutique, location-and-fixing specialist.
