Canada’s racialized producers face ongoing barriers to financing, distribution, and global visibility. The Go Global Market Intelligence Report was developed to bridge that gap. Funded by the Canada Media Fund and led by the Racial Equity Screen Office (RESO) through the IP Across Continents Accelerator initiative, this report supports producers exploring international co-productions and export strategies in Asia Pacific.

Focused on four key hubs—South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore—the report provides a high-level scan of each market’s film and television landscape. It maps production ecosystems, leading platforms, government incentives, audience behaviours, and co-production frameworks, offering strategic context for Canadian producers assessing their fit.

The report also outlines regulatory considerations, financing tools, and distribution mechanics across the region, identifying both risks and rewards for those pursuing global reach.

Korea is examined in particular depth, reflecting its growing dominance in streaming and theatrical markets and its strategic alignment with Canada through cultural diplomacy and diaspora ties.

This report is designed as a practical resource for producers at all stages—emerging or established—looking to activate partnerships, pitch projects internationally, or enter new markets with intention.

A companion webinar and workshop series will follow in Fall 2025 to deepen the insights and move from market scan to implementation.
