Film finance, Hong Kong

Capital
for content

Our Hong Kong office leads the group’s film finance work in Greater China and across the region. We help producers put financing together, and we help financiers find projects built to reach an international audience.

Producers who understand money

We have run network series and sat on the finance side of features. That combination is the point: we read a budget the way a financier does and a script the way a showrunner does.

We work with production companies, agencies, studios, private equity lenders and financial institutions to package projects for domestic, international and streaming distribution.

Why Hong Kong

The Tokyo–Hong Kong axis

Hong Kong is Asia’s deepest pool of entertainment capital and its gateway to Greater China. Paired with production from Tokyo, it lets us take a project from financing to delivery inside one group.

Our Hong Kong team handles client relationships in the territory, while creative, contracting and delivery run through our Tokyo headquarters.
