Our experienced team understands the complexities of working in China’s unique media environment and has successfully assisted hundreds of clients with their production needs.
## Comprehensive Production Services
Our network of bilingual fixers and production professionals offers end-to-end support for all types of filming projects. We specialize in navigating China’s regulatory landscape, particularly the challenging process of obtaining filming permits that can often confuse international production teams. Our local expertise ensures that your project complies with all necessary regulations while maintaining production efficiency.
## Filming Permit Assistance
One of our core specialties involves managing the intricate filming permit application process that varies significantly across different Chinese provinces and municipalities. We work closely with local authorities in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangzhou, and Sichuan to secure the necessary permissions for documentary filming, corporate productions, and journalistic projects. Our established relationships with government offices and film bureaus enable us to expedite what can otherwise be a lengthy bureaucratic process.
## Equipment and Logistics Support
Beyond permit acquisition, our production support extends to customs clearance for filming equipment, location scouting, crew hiring, and technical coordination. We maintain connections with reliable equipment rental companies throughout China and can source everything from basic camera gear to specialized production equipment. Our logistical expertise ensures that your equipment arrives on location without customs delays or complications.
## Multi-Project Experience
Our team has extensive experience across various production formats including corporate videos, documentary films, short films, art projects, and commercial content. We understand the distinct requirements of each format and adapt our support services accordingly. For corporate clients, we focus on delivering professional results that align with brand messaging and marketing objectives. For documentary and journalistic projects, we prioritize access to relevant subjects and locations while ensuring compliance with media regulations.
## Regional Coverage and Local Expertise
While based in Beijing, our network extends throughout China’s major production hubs including Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, and Sichuan province. This regional coverage allows us to provide consistent support for multi-location shoots and ensure uniform production standards across different areas. Our local fixers possess deep cultural understanding and language skills that bridge communication gaps between international production teams and Chinese stakeholders.
## Creative Collaboration
We believe in bringing creative value to every project we support. Our producers and fixers contribute local insights that can enhance storytelling and provide access to unique locations and perspectives. We work as collaborative partners rather than mere service providers, ensuring that your creative vision translates effectively within the Chinese context while maintaining production efficiency and regulatory compliance.
