Asian Film Buyers Guide

Clover Films
Singapore
Head buyer: Lim Teck
Recent acquisitions: “Coming Home,” “The Great Hypnotist,” (pictured below) “Haemoo,” “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart 2”
The outlook for independent distributors in Singapore is horrible. The local tastes strongly favor Hollywood (20 of the top 25 films this year are studio titles), and the exhibition sector is controlled by three conglomerates. Add to that piracy and a traditional video sector that was recently weakened by the closure of major retailer TS Video. “It is do or die theatrical business these days, with more dead bodies than ever,” says Lim Teck, who founded Clover with a mandate to produce locally and distribute in Singapore and Malaysia. Shingle believes that Asian commercial titles like “Chinese Zodiac,” “Police Story 2013” and “Firestorm” can deliver. Clover’s “Ah Boys to Men” and its sequel broke local B.O. records last year.
Twin Co.
Japan
Head buyer: Keizo Kabata
Recent acquisitions: “Haemoo,” “Iceman 3D,” “The Fatal Encounter”
Twin Co. has been around since 1988 when it was established as a marketing company. Since then it moved into distribution and has handled some 200 foreign movies. That market — including U.S. studios — has been shrinking and accounted for just 40% of total box office in 2013. That leaves little room for independent films. But Twin Co. reckons that there is a solid niche market, especially for star-driven action and epic period drama. Last year it acquired 21 Asian films and gave 21 of them theatrical releases. |
