Village Roadshow Pictures Asia
With a particular focus on the Chinese film industry, Village Roadshow Entertainment Group Asia was established in 2011 to undertake the development, financing, production, marketing and distribution of films for Greater China.
VREG Asia is jointly developing and investing in films with Chinese creative talents and local companies, and is actively evaluating new projects on an ongoing basis. To date, VREG Asia has entered into alliances with recognized producer Bill Kong, actress-producer Zhang Ziyi, director Chen Daming and distribution/exhibition company Dadi Media. We are also working to capitalize on our long Australian heritage (through our largest shareholder, Village Roadshow Limited) and take advantage of the benefits offered by the Sino-Australia film co-production treaty.
