How easy it it to get work in TV Production in Hong Kong? Is Star Television the place to go? Does anyone make corporate TV films?

Hi Katie,

Perhaps you can elaborate a little?

[Katie Ross]

I work as a freelance tv presenter in the UK - I present mainstream TV for the BBC and the other main channels, but also 'corporate' in-house videos... the kind of things big organisations like Banks, Supermarkets, Energy Companies etc. make for their staff either for training or as 'news' tapes. I wondered if there are any small independent television companies in Hong Kong, and if there is a big Star TV office that might take on presenters for occasional work. Hope thats a bit clearer?

Theres I guess RTHk you can try, The problem you might have is a lot of the programming etc is bought over from the states such as starworld which is of course part of the murdoch empire.

As far as I know, I don't think there are any small independant programme makers out here in hk. I'll try and ask around for you.

Star t.v as far as I know are based in Singapore not HK.

Star TV, as far as I know, don't produce anyy programming here. They merely run an operations centre.
I would second jimbo's suggestion and approach RTHK. Their radio 3 is English-based for an English audience. They produce short tv documentaries but alas no corporate programming (whenever I hear that I think of that scene from The Office where David Brent gets his guitar out!).

[Katie Ross]

David Brent! People always say that ... or Alan Partidge... I'll check out the RTHK people. Thanks.
