Professional Filming Permit Assistance

Multi-City Production Coordination
Our extensive network spans major Chinese cities including Wuhan, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, and Xi’An, allowing us to coordinate complex multi-location shoots seamlessly. Each city presents unique opportunities and challenges, from urban landscapes to rural settings, and our local fixers possess deep knowledge of their respective regions. We handle logistics, accommodation, transportation, and local crew hiring, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency across all shooting locations. This coordinated approach eliminates the headaches of managing multiple local vendors and guarantees a unified production experience.
Documentary and Corporate Production Expertise
Specializing in both documentary and corporate productions, our team understands the distinct requirements of each format. For documentary filmmakers, we provide research assistance, subject access, and cultural context that enriches your narrative. Corporate clients benefit from our understanding of business environments, executive scheduling, and professional presentation standards. Our producers work closely with you to anticipate challenges and develop practical solutions, ensuring your project maintains its creative vision while adhering to practical constraints.
Work Visa and Legal Compliance
International crew members often require work visas for extended filming in China, and our team manages the entire application process. We maintain updated knowledge of immigration regulations and documentation requirements, streamlining what can otherwise be a complex bureaucratic procedure. Additionally, we ensure your production complies with all local laws regarding content, privacy, and intellectual property, protecting you from potential legal issues that could derail your project or affect future entries into China.
Equipment and Technical Support
From camera gear to lighting equipment, we facilitate customs clearance and transportation of your technical assets.
