Cambodia is aiming to position itself as a regional hub for film and television production following a new agreement signed between Camwood Studios, a division of Cambodian Broadcasting Service (CBS), and The Studio, a Hollywood-based global production company. The two companies yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to co-produce up to ten international film and TV projects in Cambodia. These productions will be developed for leading global streaming platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Shahid, and HBO Max. Under the agreement, The Studio will bring international stars and creative talent to Cambodia while investing in the local creative ecosystem. Camwood Studios, which operates six modern production facilities, will provide full production services, including expert crews and post-production capabilities. The partnership is expected to generate employment opportunities, enhance technical skills among Cambodian professionals, and increase international exposure for the country’s cultural and natural assets.
Industry observers view the deal as a key development in Cambodia’s efforts to diversify its economy by expanding its digital and creative industries. David E Ulmer, CEO of CBS, said the agreement is part of a broader strategy to embed Cambodia within the global film production network. “We are not only creating world-class content but also building a creative ecosystem that will benefit Cambodian talent and the wider economy for years to come,” he said.
