Animation

Creation/Development/Production/Co-Production
Feature and Series

We have been on the ground in China since 1999, developing, producing, and distributing animated products, giving us the unique edge of a first-hand, long-term knowledge of the Chinese animation industry.

Whether you are looking for creative collaborators, investment and production partners, or simply seeking low-cost high-quality outsourcing, MQM brings personal relationships and direct experience that will seal the deal.

Live Action

Production/Co-Production
Feature and Series

Producing film in China is unlike working in any other country in the world, with unique challenges of government restrictions, language and cultural differences, andn a profoundly different approach to basic business practices.

The relationships and partnerships we have forged at the highest levels of the industry and government pave the way for successful collaborations, whether it's a straight production, Assisted Co-Production, or an Official Co-Production.

Consulting

Producing in China/Co-Production and Co-Finance/Distribution in China

A wise man once said, "Experience is the best teacher, but the tuition is less if you can get it second-hand." You have questions. We have answers gained from years of creating, producing, and distributing in China.

We have gone through it all so that you don't have to. Our experience will help you jump to the front of the queue, and get your project on its legs.
