Economics & Finance lecturer turned media entrepreneur Ho Pak Kin shares his wealth of experience managing the team, having extensive background working in Australia and New Zealand.
Pak Kin manages the finances and leads the business development team at Studio59 Concepts, which he co-founded with Remi M Sali. He inspires the team to constantly evolve with the ever-changing digital media landscape, and creates visionary new ways to fund and deliver original content to current and new audiences.
Pak Kin's first film project is a community-led and independently produced documentary, Different Shades of Pink (2001), which provides an intimate and in-depth look at cross-cultural love and stereotypes in Sydney.
His second independent film project, Konpaku (2019) was produced with a micro-budget, had its World Premiere at the Udine Far East Film Festival 2019 and went on to grace the screens at the Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival 2019 and Cambodia International Film Festival 2020.
Pak Kin's third independent film project, Not My Mother's Baking (2020) was much more ambitious in its vision and scope. Yet, it was still successfully produced with a very limited budget and funding support from multiple corporate sponsors in cash and in-kind. The movie is a provocative social commentary and made waves with the World Premiere at the Singapore International Film Festival 2020 and the International Premiere at Poland's Five Flavours Asian Film Festival 2020. The film was picked up by Filmgarde Cineplexes and Cineplex Development Company for theatrical distribution in Singapore and Taiwan respectively.
Apart from films, Pak Kin recently produced an award-winning travelogue series Ole Ole Temasya (2014-2016). Spanning two seasons, the popular series was much talked about. The 1st season showcases 8 festivals in 8 different Asian countries. The team outdid themselves with the 2nd season and did the impossible with the same limited budget, this time covering 8 festivals across 8 different European countries.
Pak Kin's fervour for telling inclusive stories that celebrates diversity resonates in all his current and upcoming projects.
