Our experienced team provides end-to-end production assistance that covers every aspect of filming in China, from initial planning through final execution. We understand the unique challenges that international production companies face when working in China and have developed specialized solutions to ensure smooth, successful projects.
Our network of professional fixers spans across major Chinese cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. These local experts possess deep knowledge of regional regulations, cultural nuances, and logistical requirements that are essential for successful film production. Whether you’re working on documentary projects, commercial advertisements, corporate videos, or feature films, our fixers provide the crucial local knowledge that bridges cultural and administrative gaps.
Documentary production support represents one of our core specialties. We assist with comprehensive content research, ensuring your project captures authentic stories while respecting local sensitivities. Our team helps navigate the complex landscape of permissions and access, working with local authorities to secure necessary filming permits. We’ve successfully supported major international broadcasters including the BBC, providing remote shooting coordination and ensuring projects meet both creative objectives and regulatory requirements.
Commercial production services form another significant aspect of our offerings. We understand that commercial shoots often operate on tight timelines and require precise coordination. Our Beijing-based cinematographers and Guangzhou line producers work seamlessly with international creative teams to deliver high-quality results. From product commercials to corporate branding videos, we provide the technical expertise and local knowledge needed to execute visually compelling content that resonates with both local and global audiences.
Location management represents a critical component of successful film production in China. Our Yangzhou-based location managers possess extensive knowledge of diverse filming locations across the country. They scout and secure ideal settings that match directorial visions while handling all necessary permissions and community relations. Whether you need access to historical sites, modern urban landscapes, or remote natural environments, our location team ensures you get the perfect backdrop for your story.
Production coordination services cover the essential administrative and logistical elements that keep projects running smoothly. Our Nanjing-based coordinators handle visa applications, particularly J2 visas for foreign crew members, transportation arrangements, equipment rentals, and accommodation logistics. They serve as the central point of communication between international teams and local service providers, ensuring all elements come together at the right time and place.
Assistant director services in Shenzhen provide crucial on-set support for larger productions. Our first ADs bring extensive experience managing shooting schedules, coordinating between departments, and maintaining production momentum. They understand both international production standards and local working methods, creating an efficient bridge that maximizes shooting days while maintaining creative quality.
The permit acquisition process in China requires specific expertise that our team has developed through years of practical experience. We navigate the complex web of local regulations, working with various government departments to secure location access permissions, drone filming authorizations, and special scenario approvals. Our understanding of regional variations in permit requirements ensures your production remains compliant while minimizing bureaucratic delays.
Logistical support extends beyond basic transportation and accommodation arrangements. We coordinate complex equipment imports, handle customs clearance for specialized gear, and establish reliable communication systems between international and local crew members. Our logistical planners anticipate potential challenges and develop contingency plans to keep productions on schedule regardless of unexpected circumstances.
Translation and interpretation services form an integral part of our comprehensive production support. We provide skilled interpreters who specialize in film industry terminology, ensuring clear communication between international directors and local crew members. Our translators handle script adaptations, subtitle creation, and all necessary documentation, maintaining linguistic accuracy while preserving creative intent across cultural boundaries.
Client retention remains one of our strongest indicators of service quality.
