Summary:

In Coproducing Asia, Stephanie DeBoer guides readers through a rich genealogy of regional film and media coproduction, all the while introducing innovative methods for examination across decades, locations, and scales of production in East Asia and beyond. DeBoer deftly contextualizes each case study while accounting for the challenges involved in the cultural, creative, and industry mediations associated with coproduction. Based on rarely seen archival research as well as interviews with producers in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Shanghai, Coproducing Asia provides compelling frames for understanding the significance of film and media coproduction in East Asia, emphasizing that it is not only a site of technological transformation but also an arena for competing senses of regional location and place.
