China Fixer Services provide comprehensive production support for filming projects across the country, helping international and domestic clients navigate the complex landscape of media production in China. With years of specialized experience and hundreds of successfully completed projects, our network of professional fixers and line producers ensures that every aspect of your production runs smoothly from pre-production planning to final delivery.
Complete Production Assistance
Our team offers end-to-end production support that covers all essential elements required for successful filming in China. We specialize in obtaining filming permits, which can be particularly challenging for foreign productions working in major cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. The permit application process requires detailed documentation and coordination with multiple government agencies, something our experienced team handles efficiently to prevent delays in your production schedule.
Equipment and Logistics Management
Customs assistance for filming equipment represents another critical service we provide. Importing professional camera gear, lighting equipment, and specialized production tools requires proper documentation and compliance with Chinese regulations. Our team manages the entire customs clearance process, ensuring your equipment arrives on time and meets all legal requirements. We also coordinate local equipment rentals when importing gear proves impractical or cost-prohibitive.
Local Crew and Location Support
Beyond permits and equipment, our production fixer services include sourcing qualified local crew members who understand both international production standards and local working methods. We maintain extensive networks of cinematographers, sound technicians, production assistants, and other professionals across China’s major production hubs. Location scouting represents another area where our local expertise proves invaluable, as we identify and secure appropriate filming sites while managing relationships with property owners and local authorities.
Documentary and Journalist Support
For documentary filmmakers and journalists, we offer specialized support including journalist visa applications and access to unique story opportunities. China’s media landscape requires careful navigation, and our team provides the necessary guidance to ensure your project meets both editorial objectives and local compliance requirements. We’ve successfully supported numerous documentary projects covering diverse topics from business and technology to culture and social issues.
Multi-Format Production Expertise
Our production assistance extends across various formats including corporate videos, commercial productions, feature films, and online content. Each format presents unique challenges in the Chinese context, from corporate video approvals to feature film co-production agreements. We adapt our approach based on your specific project requirements while maintaining the high standards of professionalism that have earned us our reputation for reliability.
Regional Network Coverage
With fixers stationed in key production centers throughout China, we provide consistent support whether you’re filming in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Chongqing, or smaller regional locations. This nationwide coverage ensures you receive local expertise regardless of where your production takes place within China. Our regional specialists understand the particular requirements and opportunities specific to their locations while maintaining the same quality standards across our entire network.
China’s production environment continues to evolve, and our team stays current with regulatory changes, emerging locations, and new production technologies. This ongoing commitment to professional development ensures we provide the most up-to-date and effective production support services available in the Chinese market today.
