Comprehensive Production Assistance
We offer end-to-end production support that addresses every aspect of filming in China. Our services begin with initial location scouting and extend through permit acquisition, equipment customs clearance, and local crew hiring. Many international producers underestimate the bureaucratic hurdles involved in Chinese production, but our established relationships with local authorities streamline what can otherwise be a months-long process. We maintain current knowledge of regional regulations and cultural considerations that could impact your shoot.
Filming Permit Expertise
Securing proper filming authorization represents one of the most critical steps for any production in China. The permit application process varies significantly between provinces and even individual cities. Our Chongqing-based team maintains active relationships with film bureaus and cultural departments throughout southwestern China. We handle the complete documentation process, including script approvals, location agreements, and insurance requirements. Recent regulatory changes have made certain types of content subject to additional scrutiny, and our expertise ensures your project remains compliant while achieving creative objectives.
Equipment and Logistics Management
Importing filming equipment into China involves navigating complex customs procedures and temporary import regulations. Our fixer team coordinates all necessary paperwork and works with customs brokers to ensure your gear clears inspection without delays. We also maintain relationships with local rental houses throughout China, providing backup options should your primary equipment face unexpected issues. Transportation logistics within Chinese cities present unique challenges, and our local knowledge helps optimize shooting schedules around traffic patterns and access restrictions.
Local Crew Coordination
We provide access to vetted local crew members who understand international production standards while bringing valuable regional insight. Our network includes cinematographers, sound technicians, production assistants, and translators fluent in both Mandarin and English. Having locally knowledgeable crew significantly enhances production efficiency and helps navigate cultural nuances that might otherwise create obstacles. We pre-screen all personnel to ensure they meet professional standards and have experience working with international teams.
Multi-City Production Support
Many productions require shooting across multiple Chinese locations, each with distinct regulatory environments and logistical considerations. Our fixer services extend beyond Chongqing to cover major production hubs throughout China. We maintain coordinated teams in Wuhan for central China operations, Xi’An for historical and cultural projects, and Shenzhen for commercial and corporate productions. This multi-city presence allows us to provide consistent support regardless of where your shooting schedule takes you within the country.
Documentary and Corporate Specialization
Our Chongqing-based fixer team has particular expertise supporting documentary filmmakers and corporate production teams. Documentary projects often require access to sensitive locations or interviews with government officials, areas where our established relationships prove invaluable. Corporate productions benefit from our understanding of business culture and ability to facilitate access to commercial facilities. We’ve successfully supported projects ranging from historical documentaries to multinational corporate training videos, adapting our approach to each project’s specific requirements.
