SHAH ALAM, 6 July 2026 — Canon Marketing Malaysia has strengthened its support for the country's creative industry by welcoming acclaimed filmmakers Quek Shio Chuan and Razaisyam Rashid into its EOS Filmmaker Programme 2026. Their appointment expands the programme from three to five members, reflecting Canon's continued investment in Malaysia's filmmaking ecosystem while reinforcing its commitment to nurturing local storytelling talent. The initiative also highlights the company's growing focus on professional videography as demand for high-quality visual content continues to rise.

The expansion comes at a time when video production is experiencing rapid growth across multiple platforms, including cinemas, streaming services, commercial advertising and social media. As content creators increasingly seek advanced imaging solutions, Canon continues to enhance its ecosystem with products such as the EOS R System mirrorless cameras, RF lenses and Cinema EOS cameras. These technologies are designed to meet the evolving needs of filmmakers, production teams and digital creators who require reliable performance and cinematic image quality.

According to Canon Marketing Malaysia, the EOS Filmmaker Programme is more than a brand collaboration—it is a platform that encourages creativity, professional development and industry engagement. Guided by Canon's corporate philosophy of Kyosei, which promotes living and working together for the common good, the programme seeks to inspire filmmakers through innovation while strengthening Malaysia's growing creative community. By collaborating closely with experienced professionals, Canon hopes to cultivate a new generation of storytellers capable of producing world-class content.


Quek Shio Chuan brings a distinctive cinematic style and strong visual storytelling expertise that has earned recognition across commercial and creative productions. His ability to craft emotionally engaging narratives has made him one of Malaysia's respected filmmakers. Meanwhile, Razaisyam Rashid is widely recognised for his versatility and authentic storytelling approach, successfully delivering impactful projects across different genres and formats. Together, they add valuable experience and fresh creative perspectives to the EOS Filmmaker Programme.

Beyond recognising individual talent, the initiative also creates opportunities for knowledge-sharing between industry professionals and aspiring filmmakers. Canon plans to use the programme as a platform for collaboration, workshops and creative engagement, demonstrating how technology can elevate storytelling while encouraging innovation across Malaysia's filmmaking landscape. Such initiatives are expected to contribute to the continued growth of the country's creative economy and strengthen its presence on regional and international stages.

Moving forward, Canon remains committed to expanding its portfolio of video-focused imaging solutions while supporting creators at every stage of production. By combining advanced technology with meaningful industry partnerships, the company aims to help filmmakers transform ideas into compelling visual experiences that resonate with audiences worldwide. The expanded EOS Filmmaker Programme marks another important milestone in Canon's ongoing efforts to empower Malaysia's creative community.
