Makati City, Philippines, October 9, 2009—Glow Animation, a computer animation studio based in the Philippines, is optimistic about the local creative industry after its participation in various Asian film and television market fairs.

Fresh from participating in the prestigious Hong Kong FILMART, where the company has scored deals for the theatrical distribution of their creative content in countries such as North America, Iran, Thailand, Taiwan, Myanmar, and Vietnam, Glow Animation recently joined three Korean trade fairs as exhibitor.

Through the Animation Council of the Philippines, Glow was able to promote their products to overseas buyers. The Hong Kong and Korean trade fairs have a unique advantage as it serves as a bridge between the West and the East. It provides a chance for industry players to sell their products and services to the huge Asian market. On the other hand, it also allows Asian filmmakers and computer animators to market their talents.

The Philippine participation in the trade fairs yielded offers of co-production from China, Singapore, and France as well as negotiations for new materials for possible television series production, the Department of Trade and Industry reports.

The report adds that growth opportunities are seen in the overall entertainment industry specifically on film, television, and digital entertainment. To date, top five sources of content acquisition in Asia are Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Japan, and Thailand.

Local companies, led by Glow Animation Services, are positioned to catch up as some of the major trends seen in the trade fairs include the search for new platforms in presenting e-learning programs as well as interactive content partnered with latest technology trends.

Glow Animation is also positioning itself as the technology leader in the industry as digital content continues to rise and new software for animation production comes out to make creative and production work faster and adapted to digital broadcasting.
