The H Collective Announced its Documentary Studio

(Los Angeles, March 11th 2021) The H Collective has announced the launch of a new Documentary Studio to begin production in spring 2021. The new arm will develop and produce original content in China, Japan and Germany, and distribute acquired projects internationally.

The H Collective previously distributed Japanese rock Superstar Yoshiki’s bibliographic documentary ‘We are X’ in China and the show received positive market feedback after being special screened in both Beijing and Shanghai International Film Festivals.

The H Collective currently has several projects under development, with the first slated as a gourmet restaurant world documentary. The team will explore exceptional cuisines at Michelin Star restaurants in Japan, specifically introducing varieties of Japanese food culture, including traditional food such as tea ceremony, Sake, Wagashi, Sushi and Kaiseki, and western influenced food such as Gin, Whisky, Western confectionery, European Japanese fusion and Indian Japanese fusion. The show is set for eight 40-minute episodes uncovering cuisine history and cultural aspects while understanding technique and style.

Also, a slate of documentaries is being developed, beside another Asian Food & Lifestyle Documentary with Chinese celebrity host, as the E-Sports’ influence has been growing and 2024 Paris Olympics committee may introduce E-sports as part of its promotion, A Team Sentinel E-Sports Project, and Chinese E-Sports Documentary to record the production of E-sports feature film will be produced by The H Collective to meet the market demands.

After appointing Mark Rau as the CEO of The H Collective Europe, the Berlin-based arm will focus on film development and production and coordinate all efforts with the LA-based HQ. The division’s 2021 slate will launch with an Asian lifestyle TV documentary project currently titled Gaming Age to be shot in Hong Kong and LA, with the focus on e-sports and online gaming for the next generation. The project is centered on Asian lifestyle content targeting the under 29 generation.

As traditional film distribution has been heavily affected by the pandemic, The H Collective is also actively working with online streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Bilibili, Youku, ByteDance and Tencent, to provide more quality content to the audiences around the world.
