MIPCOM Spotlight: MediaCorp

CANNES: Singapore’s MediaCorp is one of the main partners of The Asian Pitch, a competition for original documentaries produced by Asian filmmakers, with four new offerings to be showcased at MIPCOM.

There were four winners from last year’s event, and MediaCorp is now ready to offer those finished documentaries to the market. They are Wheatfield Sailors from Taiwan, Sanitary Towels Inc. and Sorrowgacy from India and Defector from South Korea.

“They are original documentaries made by Asian directors, with interesting story lines from an Asian perspective that will excite international audiences,” says Tang Yun Leung, the VP of content distribution at MediaCorp. “Beyond these, our MediaCorp productions for the new Toggle platform will soon be marketed to international broadcasters,” including a range of TV movies, documentaries, game shows and mini segments on food, fashion, beauty and more.
