About Huallywood Film Studios
Taiwan Land Development Corp announced plans for the Huallywood studio park in June. They include the construction of a studio complex, production and post-production facilities, executive office space and other resources that will form an end-to-end ecosystem for entertainment media production. Construction is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2017.

Spearheaded by Ronald Thomson, founder of Cameron Thomson Group, Huallywood’s business responds to the expanding demand for technologically advanced audiovisual production facilities and enhanced services for the world film and TV industry.

“Huallywood Film Studios aims to create an end-to-end ecosystem in the scenic area to assist global film and TV producers by facilitating content development, production, distribution and monetization”, Taiwan Land Development chairman Chiu Fu-sheng (邱復生) said. The park is part of an ongoing development project in the Hualien Bay area that is to encompass a residential complex, hotels, movie theaters and recreational and retail spaces.

“Hualien has advantages to offer the world production market by creating the next generation of filming facilities for international producers,” said Mr.Chiu, who gained credentials in TV and film production before delving into property development.

Huallywood helps local film and TV producers move into the spotlight, taking over as the nation’s main industry from the information technology and communications sectors, Mr. Chiu said.
