Our team based in Hong Kong brings extensive experience working with foreign production companies seeking to navigate the complexities of filming in China’s diverse regions, from major metropolitan centers to remote locations requiring specialized permits and local knowledge.
Our production coordination services cover every aspect of filmmaking in China, including location scouting, permit acquisition, crew hiring, equipment sourcing, and cultural liaison support.

As experienced first assistant directors, we excel at managing shooting schedules, coordinating between departments, and maintaining production efficiency while respecting local regulations and cultural sensitivities. Our 1st AD services include script breakdowns, call sheet preparation, set management, and communication facilitation between international creative teams and local crew members. We bridge the cultural and linguistic gaps that often challenge foreign productions, ensuring that your creative vision translates effectively to the Chinese filming environment.
Beyond traditional film production, we support documentary projects, commercial advertising, corporate videos, and streaming content. Our research capabilities include identifying unique locations, securing access to restricted areas, and providing context about local customs and filming regulations. We’ve successfully assisted numerous international broadcasters and production companies, including recent remote shooting coordination for BBC projects requiring specialized access and logistical support.
Our visa and permit assistance covers the full spectrum of production requirements, from J2 visa applications for foreign crew members to location filming permits, drone operation authorizations, and special access permissions for sensitive locations. We maintain strong relationships with relevant government agencies and understand the evolving regulatory landscape for media production in China. This expertise allows us to navigate bureaucratic processes efficiently, saving our clients valuable time and resources.
Logistical coordination forms another critical component of our Hong Kong Film Production Services. We manage transportation, accommodation, catering, equipment rentals, and local crew hiring across multiple Chinese cities. Our established relationships with equipment houses, studios, and local technicians ensure that you receive professional-grade resources at competitive rates. We’ve built our reputation on delivering reliable production support that meets international standards while adapting to local conditions and requirements.
