G'day! I’m Marina Albert

I take pride in delivering a unique Australian experience for “on-the-ground” logistical support of film crews locally and from all over the world.

I have worked on hundreds of high profile international productions and believe the key to my job as a producer / fixer is to be ready to respond quickly to the changing needs of the production, find quick solutions to all challenges and to make sure that every client has the most productive and fun experience filming in Australia!

Over the course of twenty years, I have been contracted by Tourism Australia. During this time, I have gained extensive knowledge about Australia, it’s film and television industry  and have developed long lasting and valued associations with iconic tourism products, operators and locations throughout the country. These experiences have also helped establish strong connections with broadcasters from around the world. 

I am a dedicated professional with a friendly unique hands-on approach ensuring every production under my control remains on schedule, on budget and results in a positive outcome for all stakeholders.

Client Testimonials

“Bringing Anthony Bourdain No Reservations to Sydney was much easier with Marina on our team.  Her knowledge of the local permitting process and visa requirements was invaluable to us and her ability to get things done on the ground made for a smooth shoot – there’s no one better in Sydney!”
Philip BoagProducer, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations
“Marina Albert is like the Mary Poppins of fixers... ...She can make the impossible possible and pull permits out of her handbag like magic. A time sensitive production required multiple filming locations, set dressing, the co-operation of Tourism Australia and Destination NSW, catering for a cast of 80 along with juggling an ever changing schedule. All of which was handled with aplomb. Her contact book is priceless. You want a kangaroo? Got it. You want a BBQ on a beach? Done. Marina Albert? Practically perfect in every way”
Martijn VollebergAndré Rieu New Year’s Concert from Sydney, Worldwide Cinema Special
Marina put together a very last minute shoot for me in Sydney. Despite the rush nature of the project, I arrived in Sydney to a very organized production and a wonderful crew. Couldn't have asked for anything more - I'll definitely be working with Marina again on my next Australia production.
Jordan SiegmanSr. Producer at Trifilm
Marina is an efficient and reliable ‘fixer’ who just gets things done. Fast, accurate and reliable, she continues to really help us with media famils and production at Tourism Australia.
Anita GodbeerGeneral Manager - PR, Social, Content at Tourism Australia
"Marina was invaluable in providing seamless production solutions for our client, in a time sensitive and demanding shoot - on the other side of the world from our sales office. A valued partner across timezones".
Brook DowntonProducer, Media Monks NYC
Marina, organised every detail of our Aquabumps family Northern Territory trip with Tourism Australia. From our accomodation, flights, car hire, dinners, experiences and was on call for any questions and confirmations ahead of time. A true professional - with warmth and genuine care and love for what she does. It was a trip of a lifetime - made even more incredible with her accuracy and eye for detail.
Debbie TanCommercial Director at Aquabumps
Marina is a true professional. Our HQ is based in Singapore and we needed a shoot done in Melbourne. She organised the camera crew and everything that came with it expertly and professionally. It was done on time and on demand.

I loved working with Marina on a skeleton crew shoot in QLD. She was quick to react to our brief, crewed it perfectly and dealt with a lot of last minute changes and hold requests with flexibility and professionalism. I highly recommend Marina, she is absolutely lovely to work with!

Sophie CampbellFreelance Senior Producer
Although Marina was going in for surgery at the time, she provided payroll services and production support on our project. She was super responsive and organised, despite the time difference between Sydney and the UK where I'm based, and also despite being in recovery post surgery. I appreciated how quickly she acted to assemble crew and her continued diligence and expertise that helped the project to run smoothly.
Geraldine CabaneroPM/Producer at Untold Fable (part of AnalogFolk)
Marina the miracle worker. She pulled off a shoot of 12 locations, two talents and very tight shooting schedule in Sydney with about a week's notice from us. I'm forever in her debt for making us look like legends for our very happy client in San Francisco who could not believe what we achieved. Not only that, she did it under budget and returned the surplus! Thoroughly recommend her.
Simon KearneyCEO at Click2View, Treasurer of the Asia Content Marketing Association
“Marina Albert is an asset to any production visiting Australia. Our production (Cameron Dallas Project - Netflix Doco) took us from Perth to Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. Throughout, Marina's vast knowledge and experience of production streamlined the process. Her crew contacts are stellar and she can procure filming at the very best locations. She is a pleasure to have on set and is incredibly supportive when working remotely”.
Stacey MahoneyLine Producer – Magical Elves Productions USA
Marina is a highly experienced specialist in coordinating media visits to NSW and Australia and her work is absolutely outstanding. She has in depth knowledge and experience about Australian locations, deep experience in handling visits by television crews from all over the world and incredible contacts which help make things happen. She has also worked with many international journalists helping them uncover new and interesting stories about Australian food, wine, tourism, lifestyle, cultural, heritage, nature, adventure and major events. She is great to work with and I recommend her services without hesitation.
Catriona FraserExecutive Director, Fraser & Associates
I have worked with Marina for a number of years and on a variety of exciting projects with International Media. She has a solid understanding of their requirements including experiences and accommodation requirements given cultural differences. Marina is the ultimate professional in her field and a true stand out. I can strongly recommend Marina based on not only her skills but also her wonderful warmth and personal approach.
Robert MileticShangri-La Sydney
Marina is the best. I have worked closely with her for cover shoots and articles for a travel magazine that I was leading and the way she put together our schedules in Australia was flawless and her in-depth knowledge of the destination, its cuisine, people & culture added 100x to what we were creating. She is a treasure trove of knowledge and impeccable in her organising abilities.

Diane GlassonSenior public relations and communications specialist
One of the most friendly, reliable, and trustworthy fixers I have met. Pity she is so busy that we have been unable to hire her for some of our projects. Highly recommend Marina and having known her for over 15 years impressed with the consistency in the quality of her work.
Anupam SharmaProducer & Director at The Run - Film
The best part of my Sydney experience was Marina’s ability to find solutions to my seemingly endless list of problems. For that I am extremely grateful. All thanks to your professionalism and no-nonsense approach.
Martin HerringProducer/Director, Roast Beef Productions - Mr Wright
I first worked with Marina when I was starting my career as a producer and she was the best mentor I could ask for. I watched her in awe as she tackled multiple roles on set - client, producer, stylist, runner, location manager. She is the reason why I have never blinked an eye at managing multiple roles on projects because I have always followed her lead.
Emma ScottCreative Content Consultant - Producer of film, photography and digital content
I had a quick turn video project traveling between two destinations in Australia, Sydney and Adelaide. Marina was able to quickly source a fantastic crew in both locations, she has tremendous contacts. She handled all travel logistics and communications with the crews, allowing me to focus on the creative storytelling. Marina's help made all the difference in pulling off these complicated productions, and I thank her greatly. I will certainly call her right away the next time I have a production anywhere in Australia. Thanks, Marina!
