What We Do

In China, it’s anything but business as usual. Jiaflix is changing the way Hollywood views China and has earned trust at the studios’ most senior levels. While others are quick to promote their deals with China to help raise investor capital, Jiaflix is quietly getting the job done and outperforming with record shattering success.

With our government relationships, local resources and agility, we help Hollywood navigate China’s regulatory complexities and nuances and establish a foothold in the world’s fastest growing entertainment market.

We handle all filings and assure compliance with local regulations, deliver end-to-end production assistance and advice, execute strategic and timely theatrical releases, provide broad distribution and offer comprehensive anti-piracy protection to minimize financial losses.

Jiaflix believes every partnership must be built on a foundation of trust, transparency and compliance. This begins with respecting the guidelines and standards of our partners, understanding and following all of the rules and regulations of China and the U.S. and operating with the highest of ethical standards.
