Mr. Patrick Frater CEO, Film Business Asia Patrick Frater has over 20 years of experience writing about and analysing the international film industry, with publications including Screen International, The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, where he was its Asia editor. In 2010, he co-founded Film Business Asia. Based in Hong Kong, FBA is a next-generation film trade publication -- less a magazine and more a market intelligence platform -- for and about the Asian film industry. The company operates a busy trade news and reviews service online and has recently launched its first data services sold on a subscription basis. In just over a year the company has published 2,000 news and film review stories and its weekly newsletter has just reached its millionth reader. Film Business Asia has also successfully branched into print, with special issues published at the Cannes, Busan and Tokyo festivals, at Hong Kong's FILMART and market dailies at ScreenSingapore. Film Business Asia recently published its first dedicated issue at the American Film Market.
