CREATIVE MEDIA AWARDS
Film production is our passion, we deeply enjoy the process and are extensively connected members of the film industry of Hong Kong.
Our team includes several award-winning and well-connected directors and filmmakers who have made themselves known among esteemed members of the film industry. They have received awards and grants for their filmmaking from IFVA, 12th Microfilm x Music (MxM) Scheme, the Hong Kong On Screen Film Festival (HKOSFF) and filmmaking giants such as Mr. Louis Koo and Director Stanley Kwan. Our films have been screened globally in the United States, Korea, and Japan, and have been contracted to be played on local Hong Kong broadcasting platforms such as ViuTV and RTHK.
We are very experienced producing commercial, educational, and independent microfilms and short films in Hong Kong, providing excellent pre-production, production and post-production services that can deliver you microfilms and short films with the true cinematic experience, ready for screening.
PAST WORK
See You In...《未來再見》
Our team produced the multiple-awarded independent short film "See You In...", being awarded Jury's Recommendation in the 28th IFVA Awards, Official Selection in the Hong Kong On Screen Film Festival (HKOSFF), and Louis Koo Creative Media Awards. We are truly honoured to receive such recognition from the film industry, and have the film screened across multiple countries worldwide.
Courier 《步兵》
We are thrilled to be awarded with a government grant from the 12th MxM Microfilm Music Scheme to collaborate with local Hong Kong singer Joyce Chor and create a 22-minute short film about three criminals' adventure in the Hong Kong nightscape. It was a great joy to be creating in the medium which we most enjoy and working with feature film actors in the Hong Kong film industry. We are thrilled for it to be well-received by renowned directors such as Director Stanley Kwan and industry professionals alike.
We used the Red V-Raptor VistVision 8k cine camera, Cooke cinema lenses, jibs, dollies, gimbals; and tow trucks and stunt cars for filming motorcycle scenes cruising through the midnight streets of Hong Kong.
We are now nearing completion on the final director's cut to be submitted to film festivals, and we will continue to pursue such opportunities to create cinema in our beautiful home of Hong Kong.
BGCA Microfilm
The Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong (BGCA) commissioned an educational microfilm as the sample opening film for their anti-gambling microfilm competition. This film will be used to inspire the young secondary school students who will be participating in this competition and provide background context for character development in the competition.
While developing the script, we conducted our own research into the behaviour of gambling addicts and their experiences, culminating in rich character development all the while adhering to the client's guidelines for plot development.
While shooting, we utilized cinema cameras, vintage lenses, jibs, and dollies to achieve the cinematic look to create the perfect sample film for the next generation of creators.

EdUHK ETV Series
A picture is worth a thousand words. EdUHK commissioned from us a series of 4 very meaningful educational short films for their teacher training academic programmes, instructing to-be-teachers on a the importance of adhering to ethics while they interact with young students who are in a very emotionally sensitive phase of life.
We proposed film as the medium of instruction to EdUHK since it brings out the emotional subtlety of all the characters involved, closely relating to the often delicate situations encountered every single day in the line of work for our teachers. Rather than simply learning through theory, these films created lifelike characters thanks to their extensive academic research and case studies, developing into true-to-life scenarios to develop thanks to our expert screenwriting and directing teams.
Caritas Hong Kong
One of the largest NGOs, Caritas Hong Kong, commissioned a series of short films for their campaign against cyberbullying in Hong Kong secondary schools and universities. Through microfilms set in everyday scenarios of young people in Hong Kong, we explain how seemingly mundane yet immoral decisions could result in serious emotional harm and legal trouble for those involved.
For this project, we conducted background research on many cyberbullying legal and social cases as well as consulted with our younger team members on the everyday dialogue and party habits of the youth today.
SHORT FILM PRODUCTION IN HONG KONG
To our delight, we have seen a rise in short film production projects from our clients in Hong Kong and abroad, which is a welcome sight for our crew who are passionate about filmmaking in Hong Kong and come from a background of film and television production. To us, such productions are always the most creative and enjoyable.
Short film production, whether for audiences in Hong Kong or internationally, always starts from the conceptualization of a story to be told, whether commercially to promote a product or service, or creatively as a Hong Kong indie film production. This should be done meticulously as all later stages of production follow the initial ideas and directions set by close communication between our creative team and our clients. This is also where the initial budget is set and decisions on the scale and scope of our production is made according to the budgetary requirements.
Along with our clients, we decide the genre, direction, and of the film, whether we are to attract eyeballs with epic shots and action, or to entertain with comedy and laughter. For commercial short films aimed at promoting products and services with a short story, a cool and fast-paced style gives off a high-tech and professional impression, while a slower paced style fits a warm, homey atmosphere. In the Hong Kong market, comedic short film productions are also welcomed by audiences as a creative way to promote products and brand values. We have to carefully balance the many considerations that producing a short film in Hong Kong has, including actors, costs, locations, shooting hours, and any stunts and special effects.
