Professional Production Support Across China
We offer extensive production support services that cover every aspect of filming in China. Our network includes experienced fixers, line producers, and production coordinators based in key locations including Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Shenzhen, and Guizhou.

Whether you’re planning a documentary, corporate video, feature film, or commercial production, our team provides the essential groundwork that makes successful filming possible in China’s regulated environment.
Navigating Filming Permits and Regulations
One of our primary specialties involves managing China’s complex filming permit process. Foreign production teams often encounter significant bureaucratic hurdles when attempting to film in China, particularly for sensitive locations or documentary subjects. Our fixers have developed proven strategies for obtaining necessary permissions while maintaining positive relationships with local authorities. We handle the entire application process, including documentation preparation, agency coordination, and compliance verification. This allows our clients to focus on creative aspects while we manage the regulatory complexities.

Documentary filmmakers particularly benefit from our China fixer services, as we provide specialized support for research, access negotiation, and subject coordination. Our team understands the unique requirements of documentary production, including the need for cultural sensitivity, factual accuracy, and ethical filming practices. We help identify compelling stories, arrange interviews with relevant subjects, and ensure your production respects local customs and regulations. Our documentary fixers possess expertise across various subjects including cultural traditions, business environments, social issues, and environmental topics.
Equipment and Logistics Management
Importing filming equipment into China involves navigating complex customs regulations and temporary import procedures. Our services include comprehensive customs assistance for filming equipment, ensuring your gear arrives when needed and clears customs efficiently. We coordinate equipment rentals from local suppliers when appropriate, providing cost-effective alternatives to international shipping. Our logistics management extends to crew transportation, accommodation arrangements, location scouting, and daily production coordination. We maintain relationships with reliable vendors throughout China, guaranteeing quality services at competitive rates.
Multi-Location Production Coordination
For projects requiring filming across multiple Chinese cities or regions, our network provides seamless coordination between different locations. We establish consistent production standards and communication protocols regardless of where you’re filming in China. Our fixers in each location work collaboratively to ensure continuity in production quality, budgeting, and scheduling. This integrated approach eliminates the common challenges of managing separate local teams and creates a unified production experience across your entire China filming schedule.

Navigating China’s visa requirements can be particularly challenging for film crews, as different types of productions may require specific visa categories.
