Singapore is launching a S$10M ($7.5M) fund to attract international productions to work with local filmmakers and shine a spotlight on the city.
The move follows Singapore’s success with the production of Crazy Rich Asians in 2018, which boosted the city’s profile as a tourist destination and also supported the careers of local talent.
Jointly managed by Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and Singapore Tourism Board (STB), the ‘Singapore On-screen Fund’ will provide support for international media and entertainment companies in “producing TV and film projects that reach global audiences, and shine the spotlight on destination Singapore”. “These projects will also provide opportunities for local media enterprises and talent to work alongside global M&E partners in creating content for international audiences,” the two partners said in a statement.
International media conglomerates, streamers and studios with a proven track record will be invited to apply for the fund. Projects must be set in Singapore and launched before the first quarter of 2027.
