Anthony Chen’s Giraffe Pictures Marks 10 Years of Film Production, Eyes Distribution Push
Cannes winner Anthony Chen's Singapore production house Giraffe Pictures marks 10 years with distribution expansion and new projects across Asia.
The company, which Chen co-founded with radio broadcaster Huang Wenhong and later added former finance executive Teoh Yi Peng as partner, has notched several milestones including being the first Singapore film to compete at Sundance with “Pop Aye,” producing Singapore’s first co-production with Korea “Ajoomma,” and backing Chen’s English-language debut “Drift.” The company is also expanding across Southeast Asia with three Indonesian films in various stages – Edwin’s “Sleep No More,” Mouly Surya’s “A Road With No End” and “Crocodile Tears” which bowed at Toronto. “We want to do good quality stories in the long form, episodic realm, without just pandering into ‘Oh, this worked, so we’re gonna do a version of that,'” Chen said.
