China Fixer Services provide comprehensive production support for international filmmakers navigating the complex landscape of Chinese media production. Our experienced team understands the unique challenges that foreign production companies face when working in China, from bureaucratic hurdles to cultural differences that can impact your project timeline and budget.
Professional Production Assistance
Our network of bilingual fixers and production experts spans major Chinese cities including Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Wuhan. We specialize in connecting international clients with reliable local resources, ensuring your production runs smoothly from pre-production through post-production. Our services extend beyond simple translation to include full project management and logistical coordination.
Filming Permit Acquisition
One of our core specialties involves navigating China’s complex filming permit application process. We handle all necessary documentation and government liaisons to secure the proper authorizations for your specific project type. Whether you’re working on documentary content, corporate videos, feature films, or commercial productions, our established relationships with local authorities streamline what can otherwise be a months-long process.
Customs and Equipment Support
Importing filming equipment into China presents numerous regulatory challenges that our team expertly manages. We coordinate customs clearance, temporary import permits, and ensure all equipment meets Chinese technical standards. Our local knowledge prevents costly delays and potential confiscation of essential production gear, allowing you to focus on creative execution rather than bureaucratic obstacles.
Multi-Location Coordination
For projects requiring filming across multiple Chinese cities, our nationwide network becomes particularly valuable. We maintain trusted contacts throughout China’s diverse regions, enabling seamless transitions between locations while maintaining consistent production quality and adherence to local regulations. This comprehensive coverage eliminates the need to coordinate with multiple separate service providers.
Cultural and Logistical Expertise
Beyond the technical aspects of production, our fixer services include cultural guidance and local etiquette coaching. We help international crews understand regional sensitivities, negotiate location fees, and work effectively with Chinese crew members. This cultural bridge-building often proves crucial for projects requiring authentic local representation or community cooperation.
Our production support extends to crew hiring, location scouting, transportation coordination, and accommodation arrangements. We maintain relationships with qualified cinematographers, sound technicians, production assistants, and other essential crew members across China’s major production hubs. This ensures you receive professional local talent that understands both international production standards and Chinese working methods.
Documentary and Specialized Projects
For documentary filmmakers, we provide additional services including research assistance, subject recruitment, and access to archives or experts. We understand the unique requirements of non-fiction storytelling and can facilitate connections that might otherwise remain inaccessible to foreign production teams. Our experience includes working with broadcasters, streaming platforms, and independent filmmakers across diverse genres and formats.
