Questions

- How much prep time do we need?
- We recommend three weeks or more for a comfortable pre-production: scouting, casting, permits and crew booking all fit in without rushing. Tighter timelines are possible; talk to us early.
- Can Calla Media handle permits in China?
- Yes. Film permits are part of our production service; we apply with the authorities and location owners and fold the timing into the schedule.
