Essential Production Services
Navigating China’s regulatory environment requires specialized knowledge and established relationships with local authorities. Our production support team handles all aspects of filming permits, which are mandatory for any professional video production in China. We manage the entire application process, ensuring compliance with local regulations while minimizing delays to your production schedule. Beyond permits, we assist with journalist visa applications, customs clearance for filming equipment, location scouting, and crew coordination. Our extensive network connects you with qualified local professionals who understand both international production standards and Chinese working methods.
Multi-Location Coordination
China’s vast geography presents unique logistical challenges for documentary filmmakers. Our fixer network spans major cities and remote regions alike, providing consistent support regardless of where your project takes you. Whether you’re filming in bustling metropolitan centers like Beijing and Shanghai or capturing stories in rural Guizhou or mountainous Chongqing, our local contacts ensure smooth operations. We coordinate transportation, accommodation, translation services, and local permissions, allowing you to focus on creative storytelling rather than logistical headaches. This comprehensive approach has made us the preferred production partner for numerous international broadcasters and independent filmmakers.
