Country Overview
Film Fixers in Malaysia are the behind-the-scenes experts that transform the country’s stunning variety of locations into world-class production sets. Malaysia is Southeast Asia’s hidden gem — offering ultra-modern cities, ancient rainforests, white sand beaches, colonial architecture, and highland tea plantations all in one place.
With Kuala Lumpur’s futuristic skyline, the lush jungles of Borneo, and the colonial charm of Penang and Melaka, Malaysia can double for almost any setting — from urban sci-fi to period drama to nature documentaries. Add to that a multi-ethnic population, diverse architecture, and excellent infrastructure, and you have a production playground that’s both flexible and film-friendly.
Malaysia also offers a generous cash rebate for foreign productions, along with highly skilled English-speaking crews, cutting-edge studios, and strong government support.
Most Beautiful Destination for Filmmakers
Malaysia offers a seamless blend of nature, culture, and cosmopolitan appeal — making it ideal for any genre. You can shoot a rainforest survival series and a sleek fashion commercial in the same week. But to truly unlock the country’s potential and cut through bureaucratic red tape, you’ll need the help of experienced film fixers in Malaysia.
At Atlas Film Fixers, our local team knows how to get things done — from navigating federal permits to accessing hidden location gems in both Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak).
