Mandarin Film has worked extensively with many of the world’s largest broadcasters, renowned production companies and global brands, and has been involved with many of China’s biggest landmark projects:
- The first UK/China treaty film between BBC Worldwide and SMG Pictures for the movie ‘Earth One Amazing Day’
- The first foreign drama series to be filmed in China (Channel 4’s Gap Year)

Mandarin Film services Greater China and across South-East Asia, with offices in Beijing, Hong Kong and Bangkok.
247 Pictures is an innovative production studio with offices in Singapore and Bangkok that creates original new series for some of the largest streamers in the world.
At a time of seismic shift in the media landscape, when Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, HBO and Apple are all commissioning original local Asian content, 247 Pictures works hand-in-hand with these global streamers to create international quality, award-winning series for a local and global audience.
