Fixer in China
As part of our equipment rental service, Shoot in China supplies vetted local crew across China — so your shoot is covered even when you travel light. Every role below opens to a full service page. Shoot in China provides bilingual crew options for international productions.
What a Fixer does
A fixer is the local problem-solver who makes a shoot possible in a city you don't know. They open doors that are otherwise closed — permits, locations, crews, kit, transport and the small negotiations that keep a foreign production legal and on schedule.
Key responsibilities
- Secures filming permits and clears official and private locations.
- Builds a trusted local crew and vendor network at short notice.
- Handles transport, accommodation and on-the-ground logistics.
- Anticipates and removes the cultural and bureaucratic friction before it costs you a day.
Why hire a Fixer through Shoot in China
- Vetted professionals with proven production credits across China.
- Flexible booking: half-day, full-day or multi-week shoots.
- Matched to your city, budget and gear package.
- Backed by our full equipment rental service — cameras, lenses, lighting, audio and grip.
Bilingual crew options
A bilingual fixer is the single most valuable hire on an international shoot — they negotiate permits in Mandarin, translate police and venue requirements, then report status to a London or New York producer in plain English. The language gap is exactly where fixers earn their fee.
