Triple Green CineCapital just rolled out the red carpet in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This new kid on the block is all about investing in the buzzing Southeast Asian film scene.

Leonard Lai, from Singapore, is teaming up with Vietnam’s Hang Trinh. They’re dreaming big, aiming to rake in $3 million by 2029. All to churn out flicks that capture the hearts of the local crowd.

Lai’s got a track record that speaks volumes. He’s produced 21 movies, including the smash hit “Ah Boys to Men” series, raking in over $40 million. Five of his gems are in Singapore’s top box office hits. Plus, he’s got nods from the prestigious Golden Horse Awards.

Then there’s Trinh, who’s no stranger to the [cinema scene in Vietnam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_Vietnam). She’s handled more than 500 big releases. And let’s not forget her overseas game—over 80 Vietnamese films across 32 countries. Her investments have seen returns as high as 40% globally.

Trinh chimed in, “Vietnam’s market is booming but tricky for outsiders.” Local know-how is the name of the game here.

“Southeast Asia’s got clout; it’s the third most populous in Asia,” Lai said. The region’s a goldmine for film aficionados.

The duo’s game plan is as broad as it gets. They’re diving into production, acquisition, and distribution. Not to mention sponsorships and tapping into regional incentives. They’ve got their eyes set on action, thrillers, horror, family drama, rom-coms, animation, and adaptations.

Triple Green’s approach is all about transparency and structure. Think quarterly updates, shareholder votes, and regular financial reports. This setup is designed to woo global investors with a penchant for clarity.

So, if you’re looking at the future of film in Southeast Asia, keep your eyes on this dynamic duo. They’re bound to make waves in the industry.
