How to find Chinese-Americans who are bicultural to make your co-production a success.

In my last post, “3 Ways for Hollywood and China to Combine Their Strengths” I came across some interesting advice by Dominic Ng, Chairman, and CEO of East West Bank.

He was quoted in the THR article “” as saying: “There are a lot of Chinese Americans aspiring to be in this industry…Hopefully smart execs on both ends will look into Chinese Americans, who are totally bicultural and understand what needs to be done to make co-productions effective and profitable…”

Where do you find these Chinese-Americans who can bridge the gap between the East and West?

Below I list a few local (Los Angeles) universities as well as key Chinese organizations you can contact.

Happy Hunting!
