SERVICES
Long-form, single-episode and multi-episode documentary production for brands, broadcasters and NGOs — filmed anywhere in Malaysia and the region.
SCM Asia produces documentaries that go beyond surface-level storytelling. Whether it's a brand documentary that puts your company's mission on screen, an environmental film, or a multi-episode series for a broadcaster, we build the story from the ground up — research, scripting, filming, editing and delivery.
We produced the 10-episode Discover Langkawi documentary series with Irshad Mobarak for Discovery, relocating our entire team to Langkawi for 6 months of continuous production. We also produced a documentary short for Ericsson Malaysia showing how IoT technology is helping restore mangrove ecosystems — told through scientists and landscape, with technology as the quiet enabler.
