From Hong Kong Streets to UK Soundstages â Filmmaking Without Borders
Dual-hub production from Hong Kong & London. BAFTA-recognised crews, fast permits, and seamless cross-border managementâdelivered on time, on budget, at the highest standard.
Overview
Few production companies can claim what we can: offices in both Hong Kong and the UK, award-winning credits recognised internationally, and the trust of international partners from Asia, Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
Weâve filmed across 12+ territories, created over 400 production jobs, and built relationships with government bodies, studios, and private owners that open doors others canât.
Our credits include:
Premium results, lean overheads.
Unlike pure service houses, most of our revenue comes from producing our own films and series. That lets us keep service pricing efficient while giving you access to the same award-winning crews, equipment and locations trusted by major streamers and studios.
