Welcome to the debut edition of Showcase Singapore, brought to you by Production Paradise. We present the very best of the city-state's visual media industry, with more information available in our dedicated Photo and Film directories.

Singapore is a thriving cosmopolitan city that bustles with all the exotic flavours to be expected from such a vibrant mix of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and European expatriates.

A Southeast Asian base for big names like BBC, HBO and MTV, Singapore prides itself on its technical expertise and high-quality media services. From cost-effective production and post production services to HD and stereoscopic 3D content creation, Singapore hosts live action, animated or features films, as well as commercials and promotional shoots. Ultra-modern locations and Colonial heritage sites combine to offer one of Asia's shining jewels for photo and film production.
