    As a football media company, opportunities to work in Russia in advance of the world cup next year are like gold dust for us. However, as with any project abroad, there are difficulties that are hard to pre-empt. The Soar team were crucial for us during scoping, production and delivery. Their local knowledge was exceptional and their ability to quickly adapt to what was often a fast moving project situation was vital to the delivery of the project.

    I'm happy to recommend Stanislav to you. He was extremely helpful in the pre-production sorting out our visas, and ensuring that we had all the rental equipment available to us in Russia while there. He also got a colleague of his involved in the shoot to act as a fixer/driver/interpreter. This person was central to our shoot, and Stanislav's helpful recommendation and careful choice of this person was spot on. I didn't meet Stanislav in Russia unfortunately but he was always professional and diligent whenever I had dealing with him.

  • I cannot say enough good things about working with Stanislav and his team, including Arthur and Gevorg.  From the minute we engaged with Stanislav, he went above and beyond with information, advice and suggestions on how to make our visit to Armenia a success. We would send him creative ideas we hoped to execute, and he’d almost immediately get back to us with tons of field research and photographs, allowing our plans and schedule to fall into place, almost effortlessly. And once we were on the ground working with him in Armenia, our intensive four-day shoot could not have run more smoothly, thanks entirely to Stanislav and his team already having every detail and logistic locked down. Based on the above, we are already looking forward to working again with Stanislav on a future project overseas.

    I can recommend Stanislav and his team 110%. We hired him to prep a shoot in Kiev, Ukraine for our TLC series ‘Before the 90 Days’. As it turned out our cast member could not make it so the shoot was cancelled at the last minute, but Stanislav and his producers prepped the whole 10 day shoot. They were excellent at communicating remotely with me in NYC and keeping me up to date on budget, production issues, recommending locations and permitting, etc.

  • The first contact with Stanislav was super. He was really enthusiastic working on our project. I am pretty sure he is one of the best in Russia! For us, he was a really good asset because he got involved in the content of the show, he proposed many ideas. Many fixers around the world are not good when it comes to content (better for logistic, transport, permits, etc.), but Stanislav is different.

  • Working with Stanislav was a very positive experience!  He was very quick to respond to all of my emails while we coordinated the shoot and his team on the ground was excellent. We were a bit nervous about the logistics in Moscow, but Stanislav is an expert and made the whole process smooth and simple for us.  I would not hesitate to use Stanislav again and would highly recommend him to any production traveling to Russia (or anywhere else that he works).

  • Everything went smoothly from beginning to end. Not only did Stanislav help us with what we wanted to do, his suggestions and advice were also hugely helpful. I would definitely use him again, as well as recommend him to others.

  • I’ve worked with Stas several times and he is a solid, hard working, tough producer that I would gladly work with in the future.

    • Producer, The Amazing Race
  • I am happy to recommend Stanislav. He organized a fairly involved 4-day shoot for us in regional Kyrgyzstan. His contacts in that country are extensive and his pre-arrival work was thorough. He delivered on everything promised which I suspect is no mean feat in Kyrgyzstan, a testament to his excellent prep work.

  • We worked with Soar in Autumn 2016 on an extremely tricky branded project. We needed casting and a shoot handled in seven countries and of them all Russia turned out to be the smoothest. The team are complete pro's and reasonable on price - absolutely safe hands for any kind of production there.

    • Director, World Fixer
  • I have worked with Stanislav and of course can give a reference for him. I worked with him on the last season of The Amazing Race in Tblisi, Georgia (he's done several). Amazing Race is one of the toughest shows to work on, but Stanislav made the entire shoot possible. He was a tremendous resource in getting all vehicles, phones, qualified positions filled, and locations cleared. I could not recommend him enough.

  • I've worked with Stanislav. He had two projects in Georgia, and we are very satisfied with his production in our country (planning, pre-production and production, everything was planned on a very high level).

  • Stanislav worked with me two times as local producer and the experience was very positive. I can only say very good things of him: very professional, super fast to answer questions. The fixers that worked with us were super professional and of the highest quality. Solved problems very quickly and arranged the shooting in a very short notice. So I can only give the highest references and recommendation of Stanislav.

    Profiles Television has worked with Stas many times over years. He has been the “fixer/facilitating company” for many seasons of The Amazing Race. In Russia, you absolutely need a good company to help with all the myriad bureaucratic red tape and complexities to make TV there. I would recommend any international company coming to Russia to contact Stanislav Solovkins and Soar Productions.

    He [Stanislav Solovkin] was up to the mark and delivered more than promised. Never faced any kind of glitch from him or his team. He is a very warm individual and so is his team. I wish him all the best for his future venture's and will strongly recommend him as a Line Producer.
