The Ubiks is a creative label founded by three award winning film directors and writers.
Our goal is to gather talented people in the domains of cinema, graphic design, music and arts in general to help us build projects with a unique and distinctive identity.
As writers and directors on various projects, independently, we have always tried to find new angles, new takes on classic stories and genres.
Now united behind a common vision, and with the help of our friends and partners, we intend to explore and redefine genre films with the following principles :
- Uncompromising technical quality and aesthetics, to offer an elegant, sophisticated and attractive film.
- A fetishist care for all production details : image, sound, art direction, framing, characters design and actors filming to stimulate the senses for a visual, audio and emotional pleasure through the story.
- Stories and narration built with several layers so as to be easily appreciated at a first glance and enjoyed more thoroughly with a deeper attention.
- Popular and commercial entertainment intending to touch large audiences without ever selling the stories and the genre cheap or being vulgar. Whether serious or humorous, thrilling or scary, always striving to find a pleasant but original and intelligent approach.
- Exploration of classic genres and themes of cinema to renew them for the 21st century and modern audiences by adding dynamism, sophistication, a new film language and technology, playing with the codes and the archetypes of the genres. This for the purpose of bringing back to nowadays audiences the same kind of powerful emotions and thrills these movies used to generate, instead of a detached post-modern and cynical take that create distance from the viewer to the film.
Following these principles, we will create films with a distinctive and appealing identity, a label of quality materialized by one name : The Ubiks. Why this name? Because for the length of a film we are taking audiences for a tour of our alternate reality. A parallel world of sensorial delights. And while you are watching our films, you are both here and there. In your world and ours. A form of ubiquity to escape from daily reality while remembering all this is a delicious fantasy.

Kit Wong – Hong Kong born – Director, writer, producer.
