Expert Production Coordination Across China
Our production coordination services extend beyond simple location management to encompass full-scale project oversight. We maintain established relationships with local authorities, filming locations, and equipment providers throughout China’s key production hubs.

Our team handles everything from location scouting and permit acquisition to crew hiring and equipment rental, providing a seamless experience for foreign production companies.
Comprehensive Fixer and Support Services
Finding the right fixer in China can make or break your production timeline and budget. Our network of experienced fixers understands Western production expectations while possessing deep local knowledge of Chinese regulations and cultural norms. These professionals have proven track records working with major international broadcasters and production companies, including recent collaborations with BBC teams conducting remote shooting projects. They provide essential services including translation, cultural mediation, location access negotiation, and troubleshooting unexpected challenges that inevitably arise during international productions.
Documentary and Corporate Production Expertise
Our China Production Services team possesses specialized experience in both documentary filmmaking and corporate video production. For documentary teams, we provide crucial support including content research, subject recruitment, and access to unique filming locations that might otherwise be unavailable to foreign crews. Corporate clients benefit from our understanding of business protocols, executive interview coordination, and ability to navigate corporate environments while maintaining professional standards. We’ve successfully supported projects ranging from investigative documentaries to high-profile corporate brand films, adapting our approach to each project’s specific requirements.
Regulatory Compliance and Logistics Management
Navigating China’s regulatory landscape requires specialized knowledge that our team has developed through years of practical experience. We manage the complete spectrum of production requirements including J2 visa applications for foreign crew members, location access permits, and special filming authorizations for sensitive areas. Our logistics coordination ensures equipment transportation, accommodation arrangements, and local transportation run smoothly throughout your production schedule. We maintain updated knowledge of changing regulations across different Chinese municipalities, preventing costly delays and compliance issues that can disrupt production timelines.
Technical Production Support and Crew Services
Beyond coordination and fixer services, we provide direct technical production support through our network of skilled cinematographers, camera operators, and production assistants. Our China-based DOPs and camera crews bring both technical expertise and local knowledge to your project, understanding how to achieve the visual quality you expect while working efficiently within Chinese production environments.
