- While most Chinese entertainment houses focus on helping Hollywood to accumulate money for productions that struggle with realistic Chinese-Elements and the attraction of Western and Asian audience, we're focused on helping both industries to protect and pursue cultural values in every way. That's where we think the future of content creation and producing is headed. Our projects are based on a strategic genre concept by introducing Western audience to Chinese and Chinese audience to Western history, followed by modern-day drama reflections of a Sino-Crossover and transnational society, and last but not least an innovative vision of Future China through the eyes of Science Fiction. It is in our endeavor to include bi-lingual Mainland Chinese talent in all of our movies as lead and support cast by maintaining a realistic balance that will help the next generation of Chinese filmmakers adapting to the international film industry one step at a time.
- I personally felt from my first meeting with Jan back in 2015 that we're aiming for the same goal here, trying our best to establish a cost-effective and quality-enhancing way of producing mind-blowing projects that convince through their creativity in support to the story rather than a spectacle to captivate viewers.
- Hence, it's essential to me as a producer finding a director and camera team qualified enough to deal with both 2D and 3D aspects. The director can't be just any A-list Hollywood director. He must have knowledge about 3D shooting, gear, VFX and CGI. Nowadays directing has gotten much more technical than it used to be. But that's exactly the challenge I love about the Scifi genre. Scifi helps to look over the edge by keeping the balance between story and visual effects, in order to open an entire new universe through the definition of filmmaking for the 21st century to its very core.
- The balance between technology and nature plays a dominating role in all of our Scifi movies. I would say, it's the Yin and Yang we need to make this genre worth watching. That's why I love Science Fiction more than any other genre. If a story is created properly without painting the devil on the wall and by keeping the bigger picture in mind to encourage the next generation of students in pursuing a career into a scientific direction, it offers the audience the opportunity to bridge between our present and a possible evolved future.
- After more than 10 years of having lived, studied and worked in China, it was important to me that our SciFi movies would not only be produced for the box office but to carry out Chinese culture and philosophy to the West by erasing a Hollywood cliché that still seems to be stuck within our minds.
