[edit] Company

One Hundred Years of Film was established in 1999 by film producer/presenter Charles Heung and producer/director Johnnie To.[1] Heung signed up top directors such as To, Ringo Lam and Tsui Hark with his initial plan being to make 100 films within three years. [2] The company to this day continues to make a slew of films for China Star Entertainment Group, a company Heung established in 1992.

[edit] Films

The company's first feature film was To and Wai Ka-Fai's 2000 film Needing You.... The company has since made over 50 feature films alongside China Star, many of which have been box office successes. This includes film such as Election and its sequel Election 2 (aka Triad Election), Love on a Diet, Running on Karma, Driving Miss Wealthy, and La Brassiere.
