Indonesia’s Mandela Pictures and Korea-L.A.-based Desert Bloom Pictures have forged a four-film development slate, with the pact unveiled at the JAFF Market in Yogyakarta.

The partnership establishes a pipeline of projects designed to bridge Indonesia, Korea and Hollywood markets, combining Desert Bloom’s track record in Korean blockbusters with Mandela’s intellectual property and positioning in Southeast Asia’s largest theatrical market.

Desert Bloom is headed by executives Jennice Lee, Hugh Cha and Park Hyoungjin, whose combined credits include Korean box office hits “Exhuma” and “Along With the Gods,” along with experience at Studio Dragon, Dexter Studios and Lotte Cultureworks. The Seoul-L.A. operation develops cross-cultural content targeting Asian and American audiences.
