Comprehensive Production Support
Our services extend far beyond basic translation to encompass complete production coordination. We offer end-to-end production support, including detailed location scouting across China’s diverse regions, professional casting services that respect local customs, and comprehensive logistics management. Whether you’re filming in bustling Shanghai’s modern skyline, the ancient hutongs of Beijing, or the serene landscapes of Chengdu’s surrounding countryside, our extensive network across China ensures that every aspect of your project is handled with precision and cultural sensitivity. We manage permits, transportation, accommodation, and local crew coordination to create a seamless production environment.
State-of-the-Art Equipment Access
We understand that documentary quality depends significantly on the technical tools employed during filming. That’s why we provide access to top-tier equipment from leading brands like Canon, Sony, and Arri, ensuring your production meets international broadcast standards. Our licensed drone pilots are available for dynamic aerial shots that capture China’s vast landscapes from unique perspectives, while our sound recording equipment ensures crystal-clear audio even in challenging environments.

Expertise in High-End Production Workflows
Our team brings decades of combined experience to every documentary project, from initial creative concept development through final post-production editing. We ensure that your documentary meets the highest industry standards while maintaining authentic storytelling. Our award-winning documentary filmmaker, Yann Ma, brings exceptional multilingual capabilities and excels as a news fixer, making him an invaluable asset to any production requiring cultural nuance and journalistic integrity. We understand the specific requirements of different documentary genres, from historical documentaries to contemporary social issues.
Cultural and Logistical Navigation
Navigating China’s unique cultural landscape requires more than just language skills—it demands deep cultural intelligence and established local relationships. Our bilingual documentary fixers possess both, enabling smooth interactions with local communities, government authorities, and potential interview subjects. We help international crews understand and respect Chinese customs and protocols, which is crucial for gaining access to restricted locations and building trust with local participants. This cultural mediation often makes the difference between a successful shoot and one fraught with misunderstandings.
