Is ‘O2 Production’ on the verge of closure next year?

O2 Production is a production company based in Vietnam that was established by Ho Si Hau, the director of ‘Mr. Cinderella Seasons 1 and 2’, ‘The Lost Ring’‘, on December 6, 2014. Since then, the company has produced notable drama series such as ‘Vian’, ‘Love Bill’, ‘The Nation’s Brother’, and the two titles mentioned above. However, the profit turnover is too low, and the production cost is quite expensive. The director also added that he uses his own money just to maintain the company’s activities. Furthermore, he also thanked all of the fans and those who donated to keep the production afloat.

He also worked in various roles, including film director, producer, cinematographer, DOP, and editor, but has no money to maintain his filmmaking job. He goes on to say that as he ages, he cannot afford surgery and cannot take care of his family and the company’s actors.

To address this, 02 Production will stop soliciting donations and will only invite sponsorship, investment, and benefits. As of January 2024, they are still unable to find sponsors or investors and will stop releasing movies in August 2024, as their last BL ‘Teenager Judge’ concludes. Despite the closure of 02 Production, the founder continues to pursue art elsewhere.
