Production Coordinators
Experienced production office management keeping your Peruvian production organized and on schedule.
Production coordination in Peru requires deep understanding of local vendors, logistics networks, and administrative systems. Our coordinators manage the day-to-day backbone of your production — paperwork, travel arrangements, equipment rentals, and interdepartmental communication across Lima, Cusco, Arequipa and beyond. They work closely with production managers and line producers to keep every practical detail organized and prevent small oversights from cascading into costly delays.
Through NeedAFixer's Peru network, we connect you with production coordinators who bring organizational rigor and local expertise to every project. Our professionals maintain established relationships with PromPerú Film Commission and local vendors, ensuring efficient logistics management for features, series, and commercial productions from pre-production through wrap.

Lima production-office backbone across coast, Andes and Amazon
Here is how this works in practice. Production coordination in Peru sits inside a Lima production-office custom shaped by Tondero, Cinesphere, Audiovisual Project Perú, Big Bang Films and Inca Producciones, and the coordinators on our roster have come up through that ecosystem before crossing into the global features, streamer series and brand campaigns arriving under DAFO certification, the Ley 26370 rebates framework and the Ibermedia co-production support administered by the Ministerio de Cultura.
Here is the short of it. They run production offices in Miraflores, Barranco and San Isidro, set up phone, WhatsApp and Slack systems for distributed crews moving between the coast, Cusco at 3,400 metres and the Amazon basin out of Iquitos and Puerto Maldonado, manage IGV 18 percent invoicing flow with Peruvian contadores, and handle the EsSalud, SCTR workplace insurance and AFP or ONP retirement inputs that govern crew payroll in soles. Their familiarity with DAFO records, Ibermedia paperwork, SUNAT customs and ATA carnet coordination for incoming gear, and the Ministerio de Trabajo rules covering minors on Andean village shoots means crew and cast paperwork moves cleanly through a system that global producers consistently find opaque on first contact in Peru.
Here is the breakdown. On a working day, our coordinators drive call-sheet distribution in Spanish and English, hotel bookings across the JW Marriott Lima, the Country Club Lima, the Westin Lima, the Belmond Monasterio in Cusco and the Inkaterra lodges, travel itineraries through Jorge Chávez Global in Lima Callao, Alejandro Velasco Astete in the city, Rodríguez Ballón in Arequipa and Coronel FAP in Iquitos, ATA carnet preparation with SUNAT for incoming camera packages, petty-cash reconciliation in soles, and purchase-order tracking with Lima rental houses.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. They liaise with DAFO and the Ministerio de Cultura on permit submissions for downtown Lima, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Colca Canyon, Lake Titicaca and the Amazon, set up Ley 26370 certification submissions, manage bilingual Spanish-Quechua-Aymara coordination for Andean village shoots, and keep the production office aligned with the line producer's cash-flow forecast week by week. We match coordinators based on language profile — typically Spanish, English and Quechua or Aymara when the schedule reaches the highlands — alongside prior credits across coastal the capital, the the valley and Amazon basin shoots.
