SINGAPORE — Viddsee and Mediacan (previously Media L), a Korean media conglomerate, signed a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) to enhance collaboration and cooperation between key players in the region’s storytelling industry. Viddsee and Mediacan will leverage each other’s strengths to seek out future opportunities in the areas of IP development, production, and VFX. In addition, both parties will work together with Mediacorp in the production of Viddsee’s Korean short film adaptation Alienated, due to launch in the end of 2023 across Mediacorp’s network.
Mediacorp’s Alienated will be co-directed by next-gen Korean filmmaker Doyeon Noh who created notable stories like Night Watcher and 인형 (Human Form), which are available on Viddsee’s platform. With Mediacan’s post-production team behind hit shows like Kill Boksoon, Under The Queen’s Umbrella, and Physical 100, Mediacan will bring their expertise and support in VFX, CGI, color grading, and other technical international-level skills.
This strategic collaboration will allow Mediacan to tap into Viddsee’s IP incubator, Viddsee Labs, to expand its horizon beyond South Korea and develop more international-level stories for Singapore and across Asia.
“We are honored and excited to collaborate with Mediacan for Alienated, our first shorts-to-series project based on a Korean IP. Viddsee sees this as an opportunity to bring the best in technical and production capabilities from the industry to deliver quality storytelling of international standings. This MOU signifies our intent to reach beyond our local shores to work on bigger IP projects in the region and abroad,” said Kenny Tan, Vice President of Viddsee Studios.
The collaboration allows Viddsee to offer original production opportunities to other major players to create bigger IP development for the region. It also hopes that this will open doors for more content partnerships in the future.
