Taiwan content agency partners with 'The Roundup' producer at Busan film festival

Taiwan’s National Content Agency (TAICCA) has entered into a partnership with the Korean production company behind the crime-action franchise "The Roundup" during the 31st Busan International Film Festival. The agreement, signed on October 12th at the Paradise Hotel Busan, aims to bolster film and television collaboration between Taiwan and South Korea.

Established in 2019 under Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture, the TAICCA supports the production, financing, and overseas expansion of Taiwanese films, series, music, comics, and games. The agency signed a memorandum of understanding with B.A. Entertainment, the production house responsible for "The King's Warden" (which garnered 16.9 million viewers this year) and "The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil."

The partnership will focus on joint planning and production of content, talent development, financing, and international distribution. According to TAICCA Chairperson Sue Wang, "Building international partnerships and connecting resources is essential for Taiwanese content to reach the global market." The agreement is expected to facilitate the distribution of Taiwan's original stories to international audiences.
