Who’s Handling Your Project

Fixer Arabia is a leading film production support company and a trusted gateway to opportunities in the Middle East, founded by an expert local producer with over 18 years of industry experience. Since launching in 2006 in Saudi Arabia, we have been at the forefront of the region’s evolving film and TV production landscape.

At the time, the Saudi film industry was still in its infancy, and the lack of local production crewsposed a major challenge. Our solution? Leveraging a network of top-tier film professionals from across the Arab world, Europe, the US, and South Africa to assemble skilled teams, source high-end production equipment, and ensure seamless on-location filming execution.

This demand for international film collaboration allowed our producer to build long-term partnerships with award-winning directors, cinematographers, and production specialists. Over the years, working with global film crews has refined our production management standards, ensuring ethical filming practices, efficient logistics, and premium post-production support—from pre-production planning to final delivery.

To us, every project is like a newborn film—meticulously nurtured from concept to screen. We provide end-to-end production services, including location scouting, permitting, equipment rental, and local fixer support, ensuring every detail meets Hollywood and international film standards.

This commitment has made Fixer Arabia a pioneer in Saudi film production, setting a benchmark for emerging filmmakers in the GCC and Middle Eastern film industry. Under the leadership of our founder, Mohanad Yazbeck, we continue to shape the future of regional and international co-productions, empowering the next generation of Saudi and Arab filmmakers.

Mohanad Yazbeck holds a BA in Advertising (Communication Arts) from the American University of Science and Technology in Beirut. Of mixed ethnicity—with a Lebanese father and a Tunisian mother—he was born in Riyadh and spent most of his life as a local in Jeddah and across Saudi Arabia.
From a young age, Mohanad was immersed in diverse Arabian cultures and traditions, with family roots spanning the Levant, North Africa, and the Gulf—including Lebanon, Tunisia, Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. This deep cultural exposure broadened his understanding of regional customs and enabled him to bridge gaps between experts from different Arab backgrounds. Fluent in their dialects and familiar with local nuances, he effortlessly connects with teams across the region.
This unique background has allowed Mohanad to build a strong network of professional relationships in the industry. It also distinguishes his approach to managing diverse production teams, ensuring smooth collaboration despite cultural differences.
On a professional level, Mohanad boasts over 1,000 shooting days of hands-on experience across the Middle East, specializing in TV commercials, documentaries, short films, series, TV programs, and commercial photography. With 18+ years in the industry, he has mastered every facet of production—from pre-visualization to final delivery.
Having personally worked as a Production Assistant, Line Producer, Art Director, First AD, Camera Operator, Gaffer, Editor, and even Film Director, Mohanad understands each crew member’s role intimately. This 360-degree perspective enables him to:
- Optimize workflows by anticipating team needs
- Negotiate efficiently with crew and vendors
- Streamline budgets without compromising quality
- Solve problems proactively before they escalate
His career has been shaped by collaborations with multinational ad agencies, award-winning directors, and global brands, giving him rare insight into:
- Audience psychology and behavioral triggers
- The power of subtle visual storytelling
- How to maximize production value on any budget
This holistic expertise allows Mohanad to:
✓ Enhance creative vision while maintaining practicality
✓ Bridge gaps between directors, clients and crews
✓ Deliver exceptional results under tight deadlines
More than just a producer, Mohanad operates as a strategic creative partner—transforming challenges into opportunities at every production stage.

“It was a real pleasure and a great help to work with Mohanad Yazbeck. With all our communication efforts with the French Embassy in Riyadh and with the Saudi Ministry of Culture to have Ariel shooting for the pilgrims in Mecca, we wouldn’t be able to take proper shots without Mohanad being up at 5am standing at the gate of the Air Force Base for 3 consecutive days insisting to meet with the colonel to facilitate our cameraman with a military chopper and to ensure capturing the needed shots of the Holy Mosque and the Pilgrims in the busiest day of this religious occasion. He was always there to assist from day one, tackled the sensitivity and congestions we faced, and had effective solutions for all popped up issues. Thanks to his dedication and support, his presence was remarkably productive! I hope we will work together soon”

“Having been in the film business for 40 years, I know when a good person appears on the set. I first met Mohanad Yazbeck many years ago, when the Saudi film industry was still in its infancy back in 2007. We embarked on a large and complex project involving 47 days of shooting and navigating the entire Saudi peninsula to create 19 commercials for a mobile company. Even then, Mohanad stood out as a bright and energetic young man whose presence made a positive impact. Over the years, his exceptional personality and accumulated experience have enabled him to ensure smooth shoots. Our most recent collaboration with him occurred during the first year of Covid-19, where he adeptly handled emerging challenges and completed the project efficiently and satisfactorily, bringing a sense of ease to the entire job. In summary, Mohanad’s commitment and expertise make him a valued and respected professional in the industry. With the passion and dedication he brings to his projects, Mohanad consistently upholds a high standard of quality, establishing himself as an indispensable figure in the industry”

“I first met Mohanad Yazbeck on a project that was most probably one of the greatest challenges ever. It all started as a regular commercial in Saudi Arabia. There was nothing special about it, yet Mohanad was truly exceptional from the get go. But then the 'ordinary' became 'extraordinary' when the world was suddenly hit by Covid19 lockdown. Everything was new and unpredictable. The borders worldwide started shutting down. Flights were being cancelled every day. We anticipated the shoot, the flights and all the logistics. Yet the situation was getting harder and harder to work in. Still we decided to endure it and push the shoot through, in order to get it done before leaving the country. You can imagine how a producer would feel in a situation such as this. You would expect him to be stressed and overwhelmed. But no... Mohanad kept the show running with a smile and a heroic professionalism. It was truly amazing to witness and never will I forget it. Mohanad is indeed a great producer. And he tops it up with being a great human being. I highly recommend him, for sure”
