A network to improve representation of British East and South East Asians in front of and behind the camera has officially launched.
East is a dedicated network for East and South East Asians (Esea) creatives working in scripted television.
It was set up by three execs: Jt Wong, Emma Ko and John Jackson. Wong is the managing director and co-founder of Three Tables Productions while Ko (“1899”) and Jackson (“Grantchester”) are both writers.
East’s advisory committee includes former ITV drama exec Chloe Tucker, Eleventh Hour Films’ Chris Kam, Coutts’ media finance director Judith Chan and Wenying Li of Mitsubishi Ufj Financial.
Last month the network held its first event, a speed networking session enabling East writer members to meet commissioners from broadcasters and producers including BBC, ITV, Sky, Disney, Apple, Kudos, Greenacre and Objective Fiction, among others. The event was supported by producers body Pact and hosted by ITV.
Future events will include masterclasses,...
