Cora Yim, Benjamin Lin unveil new production venture; S11 Partners opens HK Filmart with three Chinese- language film projects
11 March 2024
Veteran Chinese-language content producers, Cora Yim and Benjamin Lin, have tied up on new production venture, S11 Partners, partially backed by Hong Kong-listed Medialink Group.
Based in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the venture, announced this morning just ahead of the opening of Hong Kong Filmart, will develop, finance, produce and distribute original Chinese-language content for global audiences.
The initial focus will be on film production and distribution. Three movie projects were included in this morning’s announcement.
"The Marriage Drive" (紅棉路), a sweeping Hong Kong romantic drama written and directed by Lawrence Kan (簡君晉) from "In Broad Daylight" (白日之下). The project won last year’s HAF IDP Award.
The second film is "Mrs. Killer" (殺神太太), a Hong Kong-Taiwan-Malaysia co-production with Imagine Entertainment about a retired assassin-housewife forced back into action.
"Mrs Killer" is written and directed by Liao Ming-yi (廖明毅), whose directorial debut, "I Weirdo" (怪胎), was nominated for six Golden Horse Awards.
K-culture satirical comedy "Oppa, I Hate You" (韓劇我恨你), a Taiwan-South Korea co-production with Imagine Entertainment and Warner Music Group, reunites scriptwriter Liao Min Kai (廖敏凱) and script consultant Sharon Wu (吳瑾蓉) from "Marry My Dead Body" (關於我和鬼變成家人的那件事).
S11 this morning described its priority projects as “high-concept, genre-driven and gender-dynamic narratives”, and said the new prodco would adopt a producer-centric approach.
The venture runs alongside Yim’s 60 Percent Productions, which produced crime thriller series, "Taiwan Crime Stories".
Yim was previously behind Chinese-language originals, "The Trading Floor" (2018, 東方華爾街) and "Stained" (2019, 心冤).
