In recent years the government has become conscious of the cultural economy, and has been actively guiding the film production industry. For instance, in 1998 the nationally owned Television Corporation of Singapore established Raintree Pictures, which, via joint productions with overseas companies, has stimulated story creativity and raised local production values.
近年新加坡政府意識到文化經濟時代的來臨，積極輔導影視產業，作法之一是，1998 年在國營的新加坡電視台之下成立「星霖電影公司」，透過海外合製，激發故事創意，並提升本地的電影製作技術。
