Clover Films, iQiyi team on four films from Singapore directors1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSingapore-based Clover Films is joining forces with Chinese streaming platform iQiyi to co-produce four Mandarin-language films, from Singapore directors Kelvin Tong, Melvin Mak, Ong Kuo Sin and Tay Ping Hui.
The collaboration has been set up by Clover Films’ managing director Lim Teck and iQiyi’s Beijing-based vice president Song Jia. Both spent nine months developing the parameters of the slate during the pandemic.
The projects, budgeted at $6m in total, will be produced over the next two years. The first to go into production is Ong’s Reunion Dinner, a comedy about a couple who encounter a series of mishaps with their eccentric parents while planning to get married. Last year, Ong’s most recent film, Number 1, received a best actor nomination for Mark Lee at the Golden Horse Awards and walked away with the prize for best make-up and costume design.
