The Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) has joined hands with South Korea’s Blintn, a content production company and business-to-business content funding service. The partnership will produce 10 projects during the next five years with the intent to grow Taiwan’s cultural content industry.
The TAICCA explained that Blintn users cover 80 countries worldwide and connect more than 1,600 media companies. By leveraging Blintn’s collected data, they aim to quickly discover potential creators and intellectual properties (IPs) that are on trend with the global market. Blintn has already invested in many original IPs in multiple languages, including the American TV series “Big Family” and “Shadow Shifters” and Japanese and Korean TV series such as “Re:Start” and “First Date.”
According to TAICCA Chairman Tsai Chia-chun (蔡嘉駿), the use of databases can help the cultural content industry keep abreast of trends and make informed investment decisions. Blintn CEO Peter Choe added that Taiwan has a rich cultural heritage and creative vitality with great potential for the development of Chinese-language content; he said Blintn hopes the collaboration will yield film and television content based on original Taiwanese stories that resonate with the international community.
