About Michael Chen

I'm a multidisciplinary creative. I synergize all of my experience spanning various entertainment, advertising & digital industries in local, regional and international markets. I am personally driven by a growth mindset, data and passionate about content, marketing and building communities. My expertise includes:𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 : I've successfully developed, pitched, and produced 'Murder By Moonlight,' an Astro Original that aired in August 2022. I also raised RM1.5million in grants to develop a high-end animated series 'Happy Survivors Club' and produced a coming-of-age/horror movie, 'Geng Kubur / Dead Boys Club' set for a nationwide cinematic release in April 2024, coupled with RM8 million worth of marketing which culminated with a Netflix SEA release in August 2024.𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 & 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 : Between 2013 and 2018, I founded a social video consulting department from scratch. I focused on developing, pitching and producing branded content (over 200 videos), hired and trained a team of talented producers. We consistently achieved between RM800k to RM1 million in revenue annually, with a small team of 3 to 5 professionals. I was also tasked to recreate my business model for the video departments in Singapore and Thailand. 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐦 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 : In 2014, I produced "CUAK," an experimental, low-budget indie film involving five directors with distinct styles. This project was subsequently acquired and distributed by TGV Pictures.𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 : Additionally, I have an extensive 'event management' background focusing on marketing, creative, youth & arts-centric events. I get excited when developing new original content in all forms to achieve a set of desired objectives. I thrive on being challenged, constant collaboration and continuously seek opportunities to learn from those more experienced than myself. Additionally, I am committed to training and mentoring younger team members to help build a strong and growth-oriented creative team.When I am not producing or acting, you will find me with my wife and children, exercising (kickboxing!) or riding my motorcycle (#TwoWheelLife).
