Filming abroad is always a challenge. Often things can change at a moments notice and it can difficult to get the correct contributors or locations for the film. Hiring Purvi was one of the best decisions we made for our production. She not only looked after the crew the entire duration of our trip but made sure all our locations and contributors were correct for our film and this came from a deep routed understanding of our vision. Overall a very personable and professional service and one which I would happily recommend and would use again on future projects.
Purvi was an incredible field producer. My colleague and I arrived on a remote island in the Indian Sundarbans only to find the translator that had been provided for us unfortunately didn’t speak fluent English. Purvi was able to meet us the next day and help us film and interview on a very tight shooting schedule. We only had about a week on the ground, and Purvi was able to immediately build trust with the local translator and local people and find us the subjects we needed to do justice to the story of those who live on this island. We couldn’t have done it without her!
J’ai eu la chance de travailler avec Purvi à trois (3) reprises sur des productions documentaires tournées en Inde, et à toutes les fois, elle a été à la hauteur de mes attentes et au-delà.
J’ai engagé Purvi pour faire de la recherche-terrain, recherche de participants, interprète lors du tournage et à titre de fixer.
J’ai aussi engagé Purvi à titre de productrice-terrain et traductrice en post-production.
Celle-ci s’est montré à l’écoute de nos besoins et a su respecter les budgets restreints que nous possédions.
Elle est professionnelle, débrouillarde et très prompt à réagir lors de problématiques de dernière minute.
Bref, je la recommande fortement !
The responsibility she took on was considered IMPOSSIBLE by most producers, but Purvi Mak gets it done. In a week, she had to travel to foreign locations to secure permission to film in a crowded government hospital, inside a crowded Cancer Train and in 2 train stations, as well as to find a suitable cancer patient who was open to be part of our documentary and etc.
She communicates very well, she thinks 10 steps ahead, is a good planner, lays out the risks and rewards perfectly, is very careful and very street-smart. On set, she takes control of making sure everything is smooth. Our film wouldn’t have been possible without her.
If you have a project that is important to you, I highly recommend Purvi.
Purvi stepped in when we had a last minute shoot, and she pulled it off flawlessly. She was wonderful to work with, handled everything with efficiency and professionalism, and made sure the shoot went off without a hitch.
If you are in need of a fixer, I cannot recommend her services highly enough.
