Filming Permits and Regulatory Compliance
Navigating China’s filming permit process requires specialized knowledge and established relationships with government agencies.

Equipment and Technical Support
Importing filming equipment into China involves complex customs procedures and specific regulations that can challenge even experienced international producers. Our services include comprehensive customs assistance for filming equipment, ensuring that your gear arrives on time and in compliance with Chinese regulations. We maintain relationships with local equipment rental companies throughout China, providing access to high-quality cameras, lighting, and audio equipment when importing isn’t practical. This dual approach gives you maximum flexibility while maintaining production quality and efficiency.
Multi-Location Production Coordination
China’s vast geography and regional diversity require sophisticated coordination for productions filming across multiple locations. Our network of local fixers and production professionals spans major cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Wuhan, and Chengdu, as well as remote rural areas. This extensive coverage allows us to provide consistent, high-quality support regardless of where your production takes you. We coordinate logistics, local crew hiring, location scouting, and community relations to ensure seamless transitions between filming locations while maintaining production quality and schedule adherence.
Cultural and Linguistic Expertise
Beyond logistical support, our team provides essential cultural and linguistic guidance that enhances your production’s authenticity and effectiveness. Understanding local customs, communication styles, and cultural sensitivities is crucial for successful filming in China. Our bilingual producers and fixers bridge cultural gaps while ensuring clear communication between international crews and local stakeholders. This cultural intelligence not only improves production efficiency but also helps create content that resonates authentically with both Chinese and international audiences.
Our commitment to excellence extends to every aspect of production support, from initial planning through final delivery. We understand that successful international productions in China require more than just technical expertise—they demand deep local knowledge, established relationships, and proactive problem-solving.
