Raintree Pictures
Mediacorp Raintree Pictures (simplified Chinese: 星霖电影; traditional Chinese: 星霖電影; pinyin: Xīnglín Diànyǐng) was a film production company based in Singapore. The company, a division of Mediacorp Group, was established on 1 August 1998. It produced the Singaporean comedy, Liang Po Po: The Movie featuring the cross-dressing Jack Neo. It financed The Truth About Jane and Sam, produced by Hong Kong's Film Unlimited and directed by Derek Yee. This film garnered a Best New Performer nomination at the 19th Hong Kong Film Awards for its lead actress, Fann Wong from Singapore.
Since then, Raintree Pictures has co-produced many films with other countries, including The Eye, The Eye 2 and Infernal Affairs II. Many of its films have won awards, such as the Golden Horse Awards from Taiwan, where child actress Megan Zheng won the Best Newcomer Award for her performance in Homerun. In 2002, Singaporean satirical film I Not Stupid held the top position at the weekend box office chart in Singapore. It was later released in other countries such as Malaysia, Hong Kong and China.
The company closed down in 2012.
