TELEVISION FIXING TESTIMONIALS
“Cem was able to obtain a film permit for us and arrange all travel logistics in just two days. Without him, we would have lost our story. Everything ran smoothly on the shoot thanks to his professional and friendly manner. I highly recommend him for any shoot in Turkey.”

"Cem and his team were fantastic. They captured the vision of our episode and, in a wonderful, personable way, arranged for the people and locations, and every other needed detail to keep us on schedule. And best of all, his suggestions and willingness to look for additional opportunities for our reality show to succeed made a tremendous creative difference. We would recommend Cem to anyone looking for a great production partner in country."

Cem was my fixer on Tribal Wives and he was integral to the success of the filming. He found us the perfect family to film with and smoothed out all difficulties we encountered along the way. He understands the unique demands of location filming and is an asset to have on a shoot.

Cem Yucesoy made the process run very smoothly. He was unflappable and with his phone practically glued to his ear, he was always thinking several steps ahead. With his pleasant, friendly manner I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Cem. We really could't have made our circumnavigation of the world without the help of so many wonderful individuals and organisations. I count you among them.
Thank you again for helping us achieve the amazing challenge and raise money for one of the best causes ever, Children in Need.

Around the World in 80 Days
Cem assisted us on a complex recce and filming shoot for Around the World in 80 Days and proved to be one of the best fixers I have ever worked with. Not only does he have the ability to arrange complicated and last minute logistics all over Turkey, he also has a strong editorial sense and the ability to understand the needs of a director and to find stories, contributors and locations that are accurate to the programme briefs he was given. No job is too small or too big, and Cem is an absolute pleasure to work with. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Around the World in 80 Days
Cem Yucesoy organised a complex documentary shoot for Lion Television, filming in and around Ephesus for 'Cleopatra, Portrait of a Killer' (60' for the BBC and Discovery). Cem obtained filming permits, arranged for electricians, lighting and a jib to travel from Istanbul, and organised props that had to be specially made. When an emergency order of tape stock was needed, he lost no time in sourcing it for us. His knowledge of the tourism and transport industry meant that he could supply good quality vehicles with reliable drivers, and boats to film from. Cem kept me fully informed of costs at all times, secured some very good deals and was a pleasure to work with.
