## Comprehensive Production Services
Our network of local fixers and line producers offers complete production coordination services designed specifically for documentary filmmakers. We specialize in navigating China’s regulatory environment, particularly the challenging process of obtaining filming permits that can often be difficult for foreign production teams to secure independently. Our services extend beyond simple location scouting to include comprehensive support throughout the entire production lifecycle.
## Filming Permit Assistance
One of our primary specialties involves managing the complex filming permit application process that varies significantly between different Chinese provinces and municipalities. We maintain strong relationships with local authorities and cultural bureaus, ensuring that our clients receive proper authorization for their documentary projects. This includes assistance with journalist visa applications, cultural content approvals, and location-specific permissions that require detailed documentation and local knowledge.
## Equipment and Logistics Support
Beyond permit acquisition, we provide extensive custom assistance for filming equipment importation and transportation within China. Our team helps navigate customs regulations, arranges equipment rentals from trusted local suppliers, and coordinates logistics for moving gear between multiple filming locations. We understand the specific technical requirements of documentary production and ensure that all necessary equipment reaches the correct locations on schedule.
## Multi-City Production Coordination
With fixers stationed across China’s major production hubs, we offer seamless multi-location coordination for documentary projects that span different regions.
