Specialized Permit Acquisition
One of our core specialties involves securing the necessary filming permits that international productions require to operate legally in China. The permit application process varies significantly between regions and can involve multiple government departments. Our experts handle all documentation, translations, and negotiations with local authorities, saving you valuable time and preventing potential legal complications. We’ve successfully managed permit applications for projects ranging from small documentary crews to large-scale commercial productions.

With fixers stationed in key production hubs including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and Dalian, we provide seamless support for projects filming across multiple Chinese locations. Our network of local producers and fixers ensures consistent quality and reliable service regardless of where your production takes you within China. This regional coverage allows us to provide accurate local knowledge about filming conditions, seasonal considerations, and cultural nuances that can impact your production schedule and creative vision.
Equipment and Logistics Management
Importing filming equipment into China involves navigating complex customs regulations and temporary import procedures. Our team manages all customs documentation and coordinates with shipping agents to ensure your equipment arrives when and where you need it. We also maintain relationships with local rental houses throughout China, providing backup options and supplementary gear when needed. Our logistics experts handle transportation, accommodation, and local permits for moving equipment between locations.
Creative and Technical Support
Beyond logistical support, our fixer services include creative consultation and technical expertise. We help international production teams adapt their creative vision to local conditions while maintaining artistic integrity. Our local knowledge extends to understanding regional aesthetics, cultural sensitivities, and storytelling approaches that resonate with Chinese audiences. We also provide technical support for specialized filming requirements, including drone operations, underwater filming, and complex stunt coordination that require additional permits and safety considerations.
