The Film Makers
Hong Kong is one of the world's leading movie capitals. As a production centre it ranks ahead of Hollywood and among the world's top four in volume of output. Hong Kong's population also ranks among the keenest of cinema audiences. Some estimates put the attendance rate at the highest in the world per head of population. This demand is met by more than 120 film stars, hundreds of supporting players and a technical force estimated at more than 1,200. This pool of acting and technical talent is also drawn upon by the increasing number of overseas companies using Hong Kong's colourful locations.
