Film Financing in HK

The Hong Kong - Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF) is a significant event in the film industry. It takes place every March in conjunction with the Hong Kong FILMART.

Hong Kong - The HAF serves as a platform for filmmakers, financiers, investors, and production companies. It focuses on both in-development (IDP) and work-in-progress (WIP) fictional feature projects.

IDP (In-Development Projects): These are projects in development stage. Filmmakers connect with financiers and investors to facilitate collaboration.

WIP (Work-in-Progress Projects): These are projects in the later stages of production. Producers and directors connect with post-production funds, sales agents, and film festival programmers.

HAF is a vital hub for fostering creativity, collaboration, and investment in the Asian film industry. It’s supported by Create Hong Kong and the Film Development Fund.
