As a leading production and distribution company for Asian contents, we are very familiar with trends in all the major Asian markets. In Tokyo and Osaka, we run two film theaters called Cinemart. Each theater has 2 screens and we show mainly Asian films including Japanese films. Among the films Cinemart screened include films by award winning directors such as Hirokazu Kore-eda, Bong Joon-ho, Zhang Yimou and so on.

We work closely with Korean, Taiwanese and Chinese film companies and broadcasters to acquire their contents and we also co-produce TV series with them. SPO also produced over 25 Japanese TV drama series including "Mischievous Kiss ~ Love in TOKYO”, based on a million-copy-seller comic book. This show was chosen as one of the most popular Japanese TV drama on DramaFever and has been sold to broadcasters in Asian territories and was picked up by Netflix worldwide. This show has been so popular internationally that SPO has also produced remakes of Korean and Chinese versions. Our mission is to encourage mutual understanding among Asian societies through creative contents.
