About Goh Van
Goh Van is an independent film, theatre and visual media production studio founded in Vancouver in 2016. Its work spans film development, production, post-production and international distribution, alongside original stage productions and commercial video. The studio began with digital editing and visual effects before expanding into a broader production business.
From 2020, the company developed an approach covering development, financing, filming and theatrical distribution. Its capabilities include scriptwriting, pre-production planning, editing, CGI and visual effects, colour grading, sound design and special effects makeup. This combination allows its work to extend from the early development of a project through production and preparation for release.
Film and commercial work
The studio's film projects include Entangled, an early independent production, and the Canadian psychological horror short Fragmented. It also produced The Fourth One, the Canadian segment of the international horror anthology Ghosts Are Everywhere. These projects sit alongside commercial assignments, including a 2024 video project celebrating Vancouver café culture.
For the 2024 Singaporean comedy The King of Hawkers, directed by Kelvin Sng, Goh Van served as investment co-producer and international distributor. Its involvement included organising a press conference and supporting the film's international release across Southeast Asia, China and Canada. International co-production investment and distribution form part of the company's broader work connecting North American and Asian entertainment markets.
Theatre and emerging media
Goh Van also develops original stage drama. Its production Influencer premiered at Vancouver's Norman Rothstein Theatre in 2022 and subsequently reached audiences in Singapore and Shanghai. Theatre production and international touring complement its screen projects and cultural exchange activities.
Alongside physical filmmaking and live performance, the company researches AI-assisted film development and animation workflows. This experimental work extends its production interests into digital content and metaverse entertainment while remaining part of a wider practice centred on films, theatre and visual storytelling.
