Ellen Eliasoph joined Village Roadshow Entertainment Group (“VREG”) Asia in 2011 as its President and CEO after having worked in the Asia filmed entertainment sector for two decades. Ms. Eliasoph became the first Hollywood executive to be based in China when she established Warner Bros.’ Beijing office in 1993. She imported ‘The Fugitive’ to China as the first Hollywood revenue-sharing film and in doing so opened the marketplace for Hollywood studio films and films from other countries to be imported into China. During her two decades at Warner Bros. Ms. Eliasoph arranged the China releases of the ‘Matrix’ and ‘Harry Potter’ series and many other films on the Warner Bros. slate, and developed and managed a number of groundbreaking Chinese productions and co-productions directed by some of Greater China’s leading and most promising upcoming directors. In that capacity, Ms. Eliasoph pioneered the creation of the deal structures by which Sino-foreign co-productions are developed, produced and exploited. Since joining VREG Asia, she has established and led the company’s production efforts, working in concert with many of the leading filmmakers in the Greater China region (see filmography below).
Ms. Eliasoph is a summa cum laude graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School, and is qualified to practice law in New York, California and Washington DC. She is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and Japanese. Ms. Eliasoph was a member of the first group of American students to study in the People’s Republic of China following normalization of Sino-US diplomatic relations.
Village Roadshow Entertainment Group Asia (“VREG Asia”) has established a platform that joins the Chinese film industry and Hollywood in a closer partnership, to provide development, financing, production, technical services and distribution support to film producers, directors and creative talent across Greater China.

Media and entertainment lending has expanded substantially over the past five years under Pozil’s leadership, making East West Bank one of the premier entertainment financers in both the US and Greater China, and the only bank with a significant presence in both markets. With strong ties in the entertainment industries of both countries, East West Bank is able to add value in financing and facilitating landmark partnerships, like financing for Bona’s investment in TSG for a slate of tent pole films produced and released by Twentieth Century Fox including The Martian. East West Bank also took the lead on debt financing for the co-investment deal between Lionsgate Entertainment and Hunan TV & Ltd. In addition, East West Bank was the sole financer of the deal between STX Entertainment and Huayi Brothers Media Corp for the co-financing, co-production, and distribution for 12 to 15 releases per year.

The entertainment lending team has made over $1.8 billion in loans since 2011 to finance the production and distribution of film and TV products in the US and China markets. For example, East West Bank was the lead lender for the production of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (2016), and worked with Le Vision Pictures in the financing of its share of the biggest US-China co-production Great Wall (2016). Other high profile financing projects include The Hunger Games franchise and Silver Linings Playbook (2012), several popular Netflix drama series including Orange is the New Black and Marco Polo, plus multiple Tyler Perry television series for the OWN Network among others. In the Chinese market, the team has financed many top local language films and television programs including director John Woo’s two-part film blockbuster The Crossing (2014-2015), director Chen Kaige’s film Monk Comes Down the Mountain (2015), and an English language film Skiptrace (2016) starring Jacky Chan and Fan Bing Bing. They also have created banking relationships with the major Chinese studios including Bona Film Group, Enlight Media Group, Le Vision Pictures, New Classics Media, Talent Television & Film and Huayi Brothers. The entertainment team has also made a dedicated push into the digital media space, working with such companies as Fullscreen, Digital Domain and The Virtual Reality Company.

During his career, Pozil has structured the financing of hundreds of motion pictures, including major Hollywood films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Hero (2004), Fearless (2006), and Lost In Translation (2003).
