We understand the unique challenges of filming in different Chinese regions and have developed proven strategies to navigate local regulations while maintaining production quality.
Comprehensive Production Support Services
Our bilingual production services extend far beyond simple translation. We offer complete location management, including access to unique filming sites that would otherwise be difficult for foreign productions to secure. Our network includes government contacts, local crew members, equipment suppliers, and transportation providers who understand the specific requirements of international film productions. Whether you’re shooting in Shanghai’s modern skyline or Chengdu’s traditional neighborhoods, we ensure your production runs smoothly from start to finish.
Documentary and Corporate Production Expertise
Documentary filmmakers particularly benefit from our specialized knowledge of China’s diverse regions and communities. We’ve facilitated projects ranging from cultural documentaries to scientific research films, always ensuring authentic access and accurate representation. For corporate clients, we provide professional production services that align with brand messaging while navigating China’s unique business environment. Our team understands the subtle differences between regions like Shenzhen’s tech hubs and Guangzhou’s manufacturing centers, allowing us to provide contextually appropriate production support.
Permit and Visa Assistance
Navigating China’s permit requirements can be challenging for international productions. Our experienced team manages the entire permit application process, including location access permissions, filming authorizations, and special area clearances. We also assist with J2 visa applications for foreign crew members, ensuring all documentation meets current regulations. Having worked on numerous international projects, we understand the timeline requirements and documentation needed for successful permit acquisition across different Chinese municipalities.
Local Production Management
As local production managers, we coordinate all aspects of your shoot, from pre-production planning to post-production wrap. Our services include crew hiring, equipment rental coordination, location scouting, transportation arrangements, and accommodation booking. We maintain relationships with reliable local vendors across China’s major production hubs, ensuring competitive pricing and professional service delivery. Our bilingual coordinators serve as cultural interpreters while managing the practical aspects of production logistics.
Remote Shooting Solutions
For productions that cannot send full teams to China, we offer comprehensive remote shooting services. Our local crews can execute shoots according to detailed briefs while maintaining constant communication with international production teams. We’ve successfully managed remote projects for international broadcasters, ensuring quality footage that meets global standards while adhering to local regulations. This approach has become increasingly valuable in today’s production landscape, allowing international stories to be told authentically without extensive travel requirements.
Regional Specialization
Our team has specific expertise in China’s key production regions. In Shanghai, we leverage our understanding of the city’s international business environment and modern infrastructure. For Chengdu productions, we tap into our knowledge of Western China’s unique cultural landscape and growing creative industries. Shenzhen projects benefit from our connections in the technology and manufacturing sectors, while Guangzhou work draws on our experience with the Pearl River Delta’s commercial environment. This regional specialization ensures appropriate local knowledge for every project location.

We pride ourselves on building long-term relationships with both international production companies and local Chinese resources, creating a network that benefits every project we undertake.
