Kungfuland, In Production

Posted on by 100 Dragons

By Teresa M. Ho

When you have searched for a certain type of production for decades, and you end up finding it in another country, far from your usual travels, you wonder… should I have travelled to Asia earlier?

In 2024 Christine and I made our plans to attend Asia TV Forum in Singapore. Having heard about it when we were in the midst of selling Hello (Again), it was a market that seemed untapped from the North American front. None of our colleagues knew anything about it, nor attended in the way that when you asked them about MIP or Cannes or Berlin/European Film Market they could tell you many experiences.

When Ontario Creates approved our funding for Global Market Travel, we were off! But then we were able to receive support from RESO’s Building Canada-Asia Pathways where we were shopping other projects in pre-development, and they helped with a curated experience at the market. We didn’t really know what to expect but the sessions with RESO helped lay the ground work. They curated a packed schedule of meetings with producers and regional commissioners to help us understand the Asian market.

From the SAVAA IP Accelerator came a number of projects that I was set up to meet. But the one I was most interested in was one called Kungfuland. Billed as a Kungfu comedy feature film, I was really interested to see how an Asian director/producer would bring authenticity to an age-old genre. But what to do… I was over-scheduled at ATF and had two conflicting meetings with Kungfuland.

The first morning of ATF, I went to the organizers. I want to meet the Kungfuland people, but we couldn’t find a time to sync a meeting. The organizer asked me if I wanted to meet him on the spot. I told him I had 10 minutes until the next meeting. I joined Jacen Tan at his table, and the rest is history!

We are so pleased to announce KUNGFULAND in Singapore. Announced on Deadline and then with an interview in Playback. Being the first Feature length Singapore-Canada treaty co-production was achieved by lots of late night meetings, discussions across time zones and discussions amongst IMDA, Telefilm Canada, and the Trade Commission of Canada in Singapore. You can’t have these types of collaborations without having many interested parties to help shepherd the project along. Indie projects are hard, across territories and country lines are even harder.

With more to come as we go through the remaining days on the shoot and into post production. We’ll have more news to share in the months to come.

Supported by Infocomm Media Development Authority; Virtual Production Services by AUX INFINITE STUDIOS; Executive Producer: ENIGMATIG PTE. LTD; Produced with the Participation of TELEFILM CANADA; Made possible with the support of the ONTARIO CREATES

Post Banff Catch up

Posted on by 100 Dragons

I remember my fist time at the Banff Media Festival in 2009. It was an honour to be selected for a program to attend for my first time. At this past edition, 2025, I was selected for two opportunities, and while I wanted to wear all three lanyards that announced my chosen status, I had to elect one and I decided on the special blue lanyard that announced I was part of the Banff Spark Producers Edition, sponsored by Paramount+.

This kind of curated experience meant that I could see my fellow cohort members and wave with a smile. We were 25 producers that knew what it took for us to attend this hustle and bustle of a conference in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Surrounded by crisp, mountain air. It was easy to suggest meetings on the verandah outside kissed by the sun.

The Banff Spark and the Diversity of Voices experience means that we are surrounded by a like-minded cohort. We see each other and gravitated towards a shared experience. In this business, it’s so easy to be alone that having smiling faces to wave to as you run from one meeting to another is a must.

Anyone who wants to ask me about these two programs, feel free to reach out. When the applications come around again, I’m happy to discuss what it means to be sponsored by both. Do they help? I have to say a resounding yes, having been supported multiple times to attend. It’s a camaraderie that is beyond priceless.

More pictures to come!

My Piece of the City – feature doc

Posted on by 100 Dragons

For the last year I had the honour and pleasure to produce Moze Mossanen’s latest feature documentary My Piece of the City.  For weeks Moze followed the process of the musical endeavor The Journey.  He tirelessly watched the performance camp as aspiring young members of the Regent Park community demonstrated their abilities.  And as we went into production with the schedule of rehearsals for The Journey meandering over two and half months, pinpointing the 9 days of shoot were challenging at best.  But I think we were able to capture all of the wonderful moments that these young performers faced as they put together this reflection of a community in transition. The excitement, the hope, the fears and the internal and external conflicts that these youth face during rehearsals, in their lives and in their surroundings are all relevant to revitalization projects in the inner city around the world.  With the generous support of Daniels and Innocon, we are excited to be submitting this film to festivals and hope to be announcing some acceptances soon.  Look for further announcements in the future!

Re-branding – 100 Dragons

Posted on by 100 Dragons

After 20 years in existence, I’m pleased to present the re-branding of 100 Dragons.  My company had been a numbered company for years.  And was eventually named to translate my son’s Chinese name – Baht Luong – 100 Dragons (Productions). Two years ago I formed another company to focus on the creation of passion projects that gives voice to the under-represented which became 100 Dragons Media.  With all that in mind, I wanted to take the branding process seriously.  Reaching out to good friend, Emily Weedon, we came up with the design you see here.  I present the new logo … 100 Dragons
