Focus Group Holdings Limited (), established by Hong Kong entertainer Andy Lau, engages in various sectors including film production, distribution, sound recording, and talent management. Guided by a seasoned management team, the company primarily targets the Asian entertainment industry.
Initially launched as Teamwork Motion Pictures (), the firm underwent a rebranding to Focus Group in 2004 after legal conflicts arose between Andy Lau and a former partner. This transition signified a strategic relaunch under Lau’s exclusive control.
During its earlier phase as Teamwork Motion Pictures, the company was behind acclaimed films such as Made in Hong Kong (1997) and The Longest Summer (1998), both helmed by director Fruit Chan. Focus Group is currently preparing to produce a $5 million remake of the 1967 action film Story of a Discharged Prisoner, which served as inspiration for John Woo’s A Better Tomorrow. Andy Lau will lead the cast, with direction by Stephen Fung.
In December 2006, the departure of senior executives Daniel Yu and Lorna Tee from Focus Films indicated shifts within the company’s leadership framework.
