After stints heading local-language production at Disney Apac and HBO Asia, Hong Kong-based Jessica Kam-Engle is now heading CreAsia Studio, a new Banijay Asia venture in Southeast Asia, in the role of EVP & Business Head.
Sitting down with Deadline in Hong Kong in the run-up to Filmart, Kam-Engle told us more about the new venture, which was first unveiled in early February. She says she’s recently enjoyed delving into Banijay’s vast library of formats, some of which are being lined up for local adaptations, and is also developing a slate of originals across multiple territories.
Kam-Engle is reporting into and working closely with Deepak Dhar, Founder & Group CEO, Banijay Asia & Endemol Shine India, who is based in Mumbai.
During her time at Disney, Kam-Engle commissioned more than 60 original series including Korean dramas Moving, Big Bet and Connect, Japan’s live-action Gannibal, and Chinese-language anthology series Taiwan Crime Stories.
