Our Chongqing line producer contact provides essential China fixer services for international production teams navigating the complex Chinese filming landscape. With years of specialized experience and hundreds of satisfied clients, we have established ourselves as the go-to resource for foreign production companies seeking to film in China. The country presents unique challenges for international filmmakers, particularly when it comes to obtaining proper filming permits and navigating bureaucratic requirements that vary significantly from Western standards.
Comprehensive Production Support Services
Our network of professional fixers and line producers extends beyond Chongqing to include major production hubs across China. We maintain established connections in Xi’an, Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other key filming locations, ensuring seamless coordination for multi-city productions. Our bilingual team eliminates language barriers and cultural misunderstandings that often hinder international projects in China. We handle everything from initial location scouting to final wrap-up, providing a complete production support system that allows creative teams to focus on content creation rather than logistical challenges.
Filming Permit Acquisition Expertise
Securing filming permits in China requires specific knowledge of local regulations and government relationships. Our team has successfully navigated the permit process for numerous international productions, understanding the subtle differences in requirements between provinces and municipalities. We work directly with local film bureaus and cultural departments to ensure all documentation meets current standards and timelines. The permit process typically involves multiple government agencies, including the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television, local cultural bureaus, and sometimes public security departments for specific filming scenarios.
Customs and Equipment Logistics
Importing filming equipment into China involves complex customs procedures that our team manages efficiently. We provide comprehensive customs assistance, including temporary import documentation, duty calculations, and coordination with customs brokers. Our experience with equipment ranging from basic camera gear to specialized cinematic tools ensures your production assets move smoothly through Chinese customs. We also maintain relationships with local equipment rental houses throughout China, providing backup options and cost-effective alternatives when importing equipment proves challenging.
Visa and Travel Coordination
Beyond production logistics, we assist with work visa applications for international crew members, understanding the specific requirements for film industry professionals. The Chinese visa process for media professionals differs significantly from standard business or tourist visas, requiring additional documentation and approvals. Our team guides clients through the entire process, from initial application to final approval, ensuring your crew arrives prepared and legally authorized to work. We also coordinate domestic travel arrangements within China, including flights, ground transportation, and accommodation that meets production requirements and budgets.

Our production expertise extends across multiple formats and genres, including documentary filming, corporate videos, commercial productions, short films, and artistic projects. We understand the distinct requirements of each format and adapt our services accordingly. For corporate clients, we focus on delivering professional results within business timelines and budgets. For documentary teams, we provide access to unique locations and subjects while ensuring ethical filming practices. Our creative input enhances every project, bringing local cultural insights and production innovations that elevate the final product.
