By combining TikTok’s proficiency in creating short videos with Viddsee’s thriving community of storytellers, this partnership amplifies and showcases the top filmmakers, storytellers, and content creators in the region.

Kenny Tan, Vice President of Studios at Viddsee, stated that the current year’s edition has received more than 300 submissions. These submissions include a wide range of films that defy genres. The large number of submissions indicates a promising rise in Asian stories and the emergence of talented individuals.

Regarding the partnership with TikTok, Tan expresses his excitement, stating, “We are thrilled to team up with a major player like TikTok, as this collaboration highlights our dedication to creating a bigger platform for creators in Asia. With its extensive audience reach, TikTok’s platform will greatly benefit our 20 finalists by providing them with greater exposure and advancing their careers.”
