MATRADE will focus on promoting local made animation, films, television and post-production content and services to the global market, it said in a statement today.
“This marketing mission will include series of exclusive sessions for Malaysian companies to make their sales pitch to promote content and services, have individual business meetings, networking sessions and visit North American counterparts,” it said.
The delegation will also take part in the World Animation and VFX Summit, in Marina Del Ray, Los Angeles, from Nov 2-5, 2014.
The delegation will be represented by 10 creative and multimedia content companies, including Animasia Productions, AzimationWerks, Big Fish Media, Creative Point Media, Giggle Garage, Ideate Media and Inspidea.
“While animation is the main focus of this marketing mission, another sector that we want to market is our television and film post-production works.
“As we know quite a numbers of visual-effect works in Hollywood such as Life of Pi and X-Men: First Class were made in Malaysia and done by Malaysians”, MATRADE Director of Electrical & Electronic and ICT Sharimahton Mat Saleh was quoted as saying in the statement.
MATRADE is also looking into the possibilities for outsourcing jobs by American production studios.
