Filming in China with a trusted local partner
With bases in Chengdu (China) and Asturias (Spain), Almost Red provides production services in China for international filmmakers, production companies, and creative teams working across borders. We support audiovisual productions in a complex environment, offering clarity across legal, logistical, and cultural processes—from early development to on-set execution.
With over a decade of experience in China and internationally, we specialize in the coordination of film productions, including permits, location scouting, visas, equipment logistics, and local crew. We regularly collaborate on commercial shoots, branded content, and independent productions, where flexibility and efficiency are essential.
For larger-scale or highly regulated productions, we provide local guidance and coordination adapted to each project, helping teams navigate the process with clarity and realistic expectations. China offers an extraordinary range of locations—from major cities such as Beijing, Chengdu, and Shanghai to unique natural landscapes like Mount Emei, the Leshan Giant Buddha, and remote rural areas rich in history and visual identity.
At the same time, working in China requires a precise understanding of local procedures and production frameworks. At Almost Red, we bridge that gap—providing reliable, on-the-ground support that allows productions to focus on the creative process while we manage the production framework.
As a company established in China, we handle administrative and legal aspects of production, including permits and institutional processes, ensuring that projects move forward with confidence. Depending on the needs of each production, we can support specific stages or take on broader creative responsibilities, including full production coordination or creative direction.
Our bilingual team (English and Chinese) and network of film professionals—from directors and cinematographers to local crew and fixers—ensure that each production runs smoothly across all departments.
