Chongqing On-Site Fixer

In the bustling heart of southwestern China, Chongqing stands as a vibrant metropolis offering unique urban and rural landscapes. A Chongqing on-site fixer, expertly versed in this dynamic city’s nuances, is your key to unlocking seamless production experiences. Established in 2012 from a 15-year partnership between Clark Wang and Matt Clarke, Shoot in China combines decades of video production expertise to deliver high-quality services for international clients.

Why Chongqing?

Nestled along the Yangtze River, Chongqing offers an unparalleled blend of modernity and historical charm. With its iconic bridges and towering skyscrapers juxtaposed against lush mountainsides and serene waterways, this city provides a vast array of backdrops that cater to diverse production needs.

Challenges Unique to Chongqing

  • Crowded Streets: Navigating the bustling streets can be challenging but is part of what makes Chongqing alive. A local on-site fixer helps in securing permits and arranging access.
  • Language Barrier: While Mandarin is widely spoken, understanding the nuances of Chongqing dialects can help bridge cultural gaps.
  • Climatic Conditions: Chongqing experiences distinct seasons, from hot summers to damp winters. Ensuring your equipment and crew are prepared for these conditions is crucial.

The Role of a Chongqing On-Site Fixer

A dedicated on-site fixer acts as the bridge between your team and Chongqing’s myriad possibilities. They assist with everything from securing permits for street filming to arranging transportation, accommodation, meals, and local talent.
