China is producing an increasing number of their own theatrical movies, where industry growth is outpacing that of both North America and Europe, and the Chinese film audience is demanding more and better 3D content.

This agreement will utilize Show City Time's Chinese film and music talent relationships to deliver 3D conversion services to Prime Focus and Eight Solutions for domestic China theatres.
"This agreement is the next evolution in our growing technology relationship with Prime Focus,” says Eight Solutions' CEO, Rory Armes. “Show City Times is a progressive music talent agency and film funding company headquartered in China, who has a keen interest to build its film connections and business inside and outside China."
