Enigmatig Limited Invests in KUNGFULAND, First-Scripted Feature-Length ...

Enigmatig Limited has officially entered the film industry as an investor in KUNGFULAND, a production that represents the first scripted feature-length action-comedy project under the bilateral treaty between Singapore and Canada. The announcement, confirmed on July 21, 2026, highlights the company's interest in supporting cross-border creative initiatives. The film is currently utilizing advanced virtual production techniques at AUX Infinite Studios in Singapore, which is a joint venture between Infinite Studios and AUX Media.

Principal photography for the project commenced on June 10, 2026. The production is a collaborative effort between Singapore-based Ajacent Media and the Canadian firm 100 Dragons. The narrative, set in a 1999 iteration of Chinatown, serves as a cinematic tribute to the 1970s golden era of martial arts films. The plot follows a devotee of kung fu cinema who becomes trapped within the films they admire, forced to navigate classic tropes—such as drunken masters, rooftop qing-gong, long-browed villains, one-hit pressure points, and masked ninjas who politely attack one at a time—to rescue a lost parent before their own reality is deleted.

"I grew up watching and rewatching old-school kungfu movies on VHS, dreaming of jumping into the screen. Kungfuland is a nostalgic mash-up inspired by Shaw Brothers martial arts films, powered by the latest Virtual Production technologies. Who doesn’t love drunken masters, rooftop qing-gong, long-browed villains, one-hit pressure points, and masked ninjas who politely attack one at a time?"

Technical and Creative Integration

The film employs a hybrid production approach, pairing physical sets inspired by the aesthetic of Shaw Brothers cinema with modern LED wall technology. These virtual environments are developed by Infinite Frameworks, creating a bridge between period-accurate physical construction and contemporary digital tools. This method is being executed at AUX Infinite Studios.

Desmond Foo, founder and CEO of Enigmatig, indicated that the investment is driven by the company’s broader mission to facilitate international expansion for businesses. Foo stated, At Enigmatig, our work has always been about one thing — helping ambitious ideas find their way across borders. He further noted that the investment reflects a conviction that Singapore has stories worth telling on a global stage.

Production and Distribution

The project received early support through the ATF x SAAVA IP Accelerator event in Singapore, where producer Teresa M. Ho identified the script in 2024. Beyond the primary production houses, the film is backed by the Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore, Telefilm Canada, and Ontario Creates.

The distribution strategy is divided by region:

• Singapore: Shaw Organisation
• Canada: Raven Banner Releasing
• Rest of the World: Flourishing Films

Cast and Creative Personnel

The ensemble cast includes Idrissa Sanogo Bamba, Ellen Wong, Dion Johnstone, and Hugh Tran. The production also features a cameo appearance by David Chiang, a veteran of the martial arts genre. The screenplay was penned by Jacen Tan, Andrew Ngin, and Maninder Chana. The film is directed by Jacen Tan. The extensive list of executive producers includes Mike Wiluan, Choong Chyi Kei, Desmond Francis, Christopher Shaw, Michael Paszt, James Fler, Andrew Thomas Hunt, and Efuru Flowers.

Enigmatig Limited, which trades on the NYSE American under the ticker EGG, maintained that its participation reflects a commitment to supporting Singaporean creative talent.
