The slate, part of GrX’s “Asia Spring” project, involves 15 Mandarin TV series and five horror films.
GrX’s strategy & chief investment officer, Dennis Wu, said during the announcement at the Asian Contents and Film Market in Busan that “through this initiative, we hope to invite exceptional filmmakers from various countries and regions to collaborate with us”.
The Taipei-based studio said the aim was to “expand our presence across the Asia-Pacific region and establish GrX as a leading film studio in Taiwan”.

This business model aligns with current trends, which will enhance the speed and quality of content development, production, and distribution,” he said.
