Managing Director of Beach House Pictures Jocelyn Little looks back at how far the company has come and what's next for them
In an ever-evolving industry like the film industry, companies need to have a North Star—a guiding vision that drives the company forward.
For Beach House Pictures, one of Asia’s largest independent TV and film production companies, their belief has always been to produce premium content for the global market from Singapore. Husband-and-wife duo Jocelyn Little and Donovan Chan had set this as their goal when they first began Beach House Pictures in 2005.

Working towards this goal has not been in vain. This year, international TV giant Fremantle has announce its acquisition in Beach House Pictures—a significant milestone in the growth of the Asian company. “[It’s] a massive stamp of confidence in the growth of Asia,” Little explains.
Beach House Pictures started as a company that focused on factual content for Discovery and National Geographic and slowly diversified over the years. Today, the company has forged partnerships with global brands including Netflix and Amazon, and are behind multiple popular productions including lifestyle series Mind Your Manners and TV series Mr Midnight.
The journey to get here has been long albeit fulfilling, especially for Little who had worked her way from the bottom up.
