About Wave Films
Wave Films was founded in 2012 by acclaimed German producer and 1AD Jerry Koedding and has worked on numerous local and international productions. Wave Films has worked for productions of all sizes and formats, and with Jerry’s strong producing skills, we have honed its capabilities in delivering high-quality content while being particularly budget-efficient and cost-effective.
The team’s first big success was the Malay-language melodrama movie Nur Ainun back in 2014. Directed by Devarajan and produced by Jerry Koedding, Nur Ainun is, until today, one of the highest-rated movies of the channel.
Wave Films operates the online portal Film In Singapore (http://www.filminsingapore.com) to promote Singapore as a filming location to foreign producers. We enable foreign producers to tell great stories in Singapore - about Singapore, like a documentary on Singing Birds for the German-French TV channel ARTE, commercials for Finnair, or an architectural documentary about some of the stunning buildings in Singapore for BBC.
We are also proud members of AIPRO, SAMPP and subscribers to the Tripartite Standards for Media Freelancers, ensuring the highest ethical standards and hiring policies.
Right now, Wave Films is working on a slate of feature films to be shot in South East Asia.
