Hong Kong – Star Chinese Movies (SCM) has partnered with Emperor Motion Pictures (EMP) to kick off a new initiative called “Go Local!” in support of the Hong Kong film industry. Witnessing the growing demand for local content, this initiative aims to support and nurture Hong Kong directors, actors, actresses, talents in the field of film production and create stories that are relevant to the local audience.

To kick start the “Go Local!” initiative, SCM and EMP will team up with local actor/ producer Chapman To Man-chak to create five local movies. Both parties will work closely together with Chapman To to groom up-and-coming talent and provide financial support and resources to co-produce these projects.

EMP will handle the global distribution rights of the five films produced by To, while SCM will oversee the worldwide TV and new media rights. Through this initiative, SCM and EMP hope to provide sufficient resources and financial support for people in the movie field from Greater China. They hope to bring more high quality local movies for audiences in Hong Kong and beyond.
