With years of specialized experience and hundreds of satisfied clients, we understand the unique challenges that foreign production teams face when working in this dynamic market. The Chinese filming landscape requires careful navigation of bureaucratic processes, cultural considerations, and logistical coordination that can overwhelm even experienced international crews.
Comprehensive Production Support Services
Our network of bilingual professionals provides end-to-end solutions for documentary research, work visa applications, filming permits, and customs assistance for filming equipment. We maintain established relationships with local authorities across multiple provinces and municipalities, ensuring smooth permit acquisition processes that might otherwise delay or derail production schedules. Our team handles the intricate paperwork and negotiations required for location access, allowing creative teams to focus on content development rather than administrative hurdles.
Multi-City Coverage and Local Expertise
We maintain reliable contacts and production partners in key Chinese cities including Dalian, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Chongqing, and Xi’An. Each location presents unique opportunities and challenges for film production, from coastal settings to mountainous regions and bustling urban centers. Our local fixers possess deep knowledge of regional regulations, cultural sensitivities, and available resources specific to their areas. This geographic diversity enables us to support multi-location shoots efficiently while maintaining consistent quality standards across different provinces.

We’ve successfully supported projects ranging from independent artistic endeavors to large-scale corporate video marketing campaigns. Our creative input helps international directors and producers adapt their vision to the Chinese context while maintaining artistic integrity. We bridge cultural gaps and provide contextual understanding that enhances storytelling authenticity.
Equipment and Crew Coordination Solutions
Navigating China’s equipment rental market and crew hiring processes requires local knowledge and established relationships. Our network connects productions with reliable equipment suppliers, qualified technicians, and talented local crew members who meet international standards. We ensure that technical specifications are met while managing budget constraints and scheduling requirements. From camera packages to lighting equipment and sound gear, we facilitate access to professional resources that might otherwise be difficult for foreign productions to source independently.
