Fixer Ukraine

Dima Kolchinsky was our fixer in the Ukraine for a BBC 2 Series we made called Little Europe. BBC's Alan Little travelled the continent to analyse the power of the European Unioin. Dima proved not only to be perfectly able to deliver the elements we needed to tell the stories we wished to tell he also became a valued member of our team. His fixing skills are unquestionable but he is also extremely well informed proving to be a fantastic asset in our story telling as well.

Dima Kolchinsky is great! In November of 2008 I spent a week working with Dima on a project in Kiev and rural Ukraine. Dima served as my production manager, location scout, talent coordinator, translator and guide. He was excellent at every position. Dima coordinated all aspects of our production from travel to talent to crew and equipment. Thanks to Dima’s experience the entire project went smoothly and efficiently.

On top of all that, Dima is just a lot of fun to be around. His knowledge and expertise of what it takes to make things happen in Ukraine is extensive. He has all the contacts and resources to make a production run on time, on plan and on budget. Dima exceeded all of our expectations on the project.

I can recommend him for any and all your production needs in Ukraine. Please feel free to contact me for a positive reference anytime!

I spent a week with Dyma while shooting in Ukraine. He took care of everything for me and was an excellent resource. On top of that, he's just a nice guy and a lot of fun to be with! I highly recommend Dyma if you are shooting anywhere in Eastern Europe.

I have worked with Dmytro during a consultancy project in Kiev, Ukraine. Dmytro helped me manage my time there in the most efficient way. He knows his way around, over, under and through obstacles using his creativity and wit to get a job done. Just the kind of traits you wish for in a producer and fixer.

Dima Kochinsky worked with me as a fixer and producer on the ground in Ukraine in 2005. He was professional and thorough in his research and his guidance through the sensitive issue of Independent Pentecostal Churches taking ground and influence from the Ukraine Orthodox Church. I'd recommend him highly and would be happy to provide reference or further information.

Dmytro is well connected, knows lots of people who can get things done in Ukraine and speaks excellent English!

I worked with Dmytro Kolchynsky as a foreign correspondent (italian skynews) during the Orange Revolution and it was a great experience: he was a creative producer, courageous, honest. After that we have worked together another time and he's confirmed my opinion. I fully endorse him as a professionist and as a man.

I worked with Dima on the BBC TWO TV series ‘Little Europe’ shooting in Kiev regarding the influence of the EU. He was a fantastic colleague and companion, equally at home 'fixing' filming for us with business leaders, PORA revolutionaries and those involved in the Eurovision song contest! I have since recommended him to other BBC productions (Newsnight) and have heard similar, glowing reviews.
