| Abstract | Over the decades there have been many encounters between members of the Hollywood and Hong Kong entertainment industries such as film collaborations and co-productions. In comparing the two industries, stark differences including their size, scope, and relationship to the state are evident. Yet, production ethnography reveals that the Hollywood and Hong Kong entertainment industries share commonalities, and that the professionals within them express similar concerns. Drawing upon multi-sited anthropological fieldwork conducted with media professionals in the commercial film and TV industries of Los Angeles and Hong Kong, I will analyze some of these connective threads. Examining commonalities between these industries illuminates how global processes interact with local dynamics from the perspective of media anthropology. This paper also seeks to demonstrate that ethnographic research contributes to a more informed and holistic understanding of images and stories that audiences consume by exploring the conditions in which mass media are produced. |
