Here at team Octopus we are a right pair of offbeat creatives.
We develop, produce and create diverse visual stories which are at the heart of our work.
Our aim is not to be right but to be different. Right is boring.
We want to make sense of the world by telling compelling and thought provoking stories.
By crafting narratives and working with talent we intend to reach audiences in China and bridge the creative and cultural gap between East and West.
With offices currently in London, Hong Kong and Beijing, we offer a global reach and achieve successful productions with a combination of speed, diligence, good humour and flexibility by working with great talent in the film industry.
At the end of the day, we’re really here to blend the creative edges of the world.
