If you’re preparing to film in western China, having an experienced Chengdu fixer is essential. Chengdu offers a unique mix of modern cityscapes, historical districts, food culture, nature, and access to Sichuan province’s diverse landscapes. However, navigating local regulations, communication, logistics, and location access requires local expertise.
Since 2012, Shoot In China has supported international productions with bilingual fixers, local crews, equipment rental, drone operators, and complete production services across Chengdu, Sichuan, and nearby regions. Whether you are filming a documentary, corporate video, commercial, or travel piece, our fixer team ensures your shoot runs smoothly from start to finish.
