Our experienced team understands the unique challenges that documentary filmmakers face when working in China, from cultural nuances to regulatory requirements. We provide end-to-end solutions that ensure your project runs smoothly from pre-production through post-production.
## Comprehensive Production Support
Our services extend far beyond basic coordination. We specialize in securing filming permits, which can be particularly challenging for documentary projects covering sensitive topics or locations. The permit application process requires detailed documentation and relationships with local authorities that we’ve cultivated over years of operation. We handle all bureaucratic requirements while you focus on creative development.
## Multi-City Production Coordination
With fixers stationed across major Chinese cities including Xi’An, Chengdu, Nanjing, Wuhan, Chongqing, and Shenzhen, we provide seamless support for projects spanning multiple locations. Each local fixer brings deep knowledge of their region’s specific regulations, cultural considerations, and production resources. This network approach ensures consistent quality and reliability regardless of where your documentary takes you.
## Specialized Documentary Expertise
Documentary filmmaking in China requires particular sensitivity and understanding of local contexts. Our fixers have extensive experience working with documentary crews on projects ranging from cultural explorations to environmental investigations. We help identify compelling subjects, arrange interviews with key figures, and navigate the ethical considerations unique to documentary production.
## Equipment and Logistics Management
Importing filming equipment into China involves complex customs procedures that we streamline for our clients. We assist with temporary import documentation, equipment insurance, and local equipment rental options when appropriate. Our logistics team ensures all technical requirements are met while complying with Chinese regulations.
## Cultural and Language Bridge
Beyond practical production support, our fixers serve as cultural interpreters who help documentary teams understand the subtleties of Chinese society. Language barriers can obscure important contextual information, but our bilingual team ensures nothing gets lost in translation during interviews and location scouting.

We offer comprehensive research services to help documentary teams develop their projects with accurate information about potential subjects, locations, and legal considerations. Our local knowledge helps identify compelling stories and access communities that might otherwise be difficult for foreign crews to reach.
