Executive Summary — Eight23 Films

Eight23 Films creates elevated, globally resonant cinema built on a clear principle:
great stories endure — emotionally, culturally, and commercially.

Our films are crafted to deliver both artistic impact and market performance, blending emotional depth with disciplined storytelling, strong production values, and a cinematic tone aligned with the standards of today’s top streaming platforms.

We focus on stories that connect across cultures, travel internationally, and remain relevant long after release. Every project is developed with clear audience intent, strategic festival positioning, and a long-term distribution outlook.

At Eight23 Films, meaningful storytelling and smart business go hand in hand — that is our promise.

• A Perfect Plan – Psychological family-tech drama
