On November 2, 2026, RITERA GROUP met with Kai, director of the Netflix series Mad Unicorn, in Bangkok, Thailand, to introduce its Asian production network and RECESS production management system, and to exchange perspectives on the evolving global content industry and potential opportunities for future collaboration.

​

The meeting was attended by Rio Lee, CEO of RITERA PICTURES; Shinya Iwata, CEO of Japan-based LIKAI STUDIO; and Siem Leakheana, CEO of Cambodia-based LIZARD STUDIO.

 

During the meeting, RITERA GROUP introduced its cross-border production network connecting RITERA PICTURES in South Korea, LIKAI STUDIO in Japan, and LIZARD STUDIO in Cambodia. The group shared its vision of bringing together production capabilities and infrastructure across these countries to support international collaboration and establish a more flexible and efficient global content production environment.

​

Building on this discussion, the participants exchanged views on changes across the content industries of South Korea, Japan, Cambodia, and Thailand, as well as emerging opportunities for international co-productions. Particular attention was given to the impact of artificial intelligence on content production, the evolving role of creators, and the importance of maintaining a human-centered creative and production environment.

​

RITERA GROUP also introduced the development direction and operational concept of RECESS, its production management system currently under development. RECESS is being developed with the aim of improving the efficiency of multinational production management and increasing transparency throughout the production process.

​

The participants further discussed potential features and applications being considered for future development and enhancement, including work history tracking, documentation of individual contributions, support for the rights and interests of freelancers and creators, and multinational production management. They also exchanged perspectives on how such technologies and production infrastructure could contribute to improving the global content production environment.

​

As director Kai is also expanding his activities in producing and developing original intellectual properties (IP), both sides shared an interest in the potential of Asian production networks and emerging production management technologies to support content development and the broader production ecosystem.

Following the meeting, RITERA GROUP and director Kai agreed to maintain an ongoing dialogue on related areas.
