 How Gary Chong Turned a Childhood Ghost Story Into a Global-Grade Studio


What if the horror movie that once made you hide behind your tiny hands…
became the spark that built one of Malaysia’s most unstoppable video empires?

That’s exactly how the Gary Chong Studios legend began.

The Moment That Changed Everything

Picture this:
7-year-old Gary Chong, shaking in an old Ipoh cinema, terrified of ghosts flickering across a giant white sheet.

His father pulls him closer, points at the light beam, and says:

“It’s just a sheet, son. Everything you feel fear, joy, tears comes from light, sound, and story.”

That single sentence rewired Gary’s world.

31 years later, that scared kid is now the visionary behind Gary Chong Studios Malaysia’s most trusted, most relentless, most story-obsessed video production powerhouse.

14 Years. 1,000+ Videos. 1 Unbeatable Reputation.

Gary launched his studio right after completing his Master’s in Film Studies  a rare qualification even in the industry.
While building the company from scratch, he also spent 10 years lecturing at Taylor’s University, shaping Malaysia’s next generation of creators.

Today, Gary Chong Studios stands as a regional powerhouse, trusted by:

  • Maybank (they once commissioned five videos in ONE month)
  • Petronas
  • Top telcos
  • FMCG brands
  • Property developers
  • Government-linked projects  thanks to their MOF certification

If there’s a major Malaysian brand you know…
chances are Gary Chong Studios has told their story.

Why Big Brands Keep Coming Back

Because Gary’s team doesn’t just “make videos.”

They think like strategists. Like consultants. Like problem-solvers.

“We reverse-engineer your real business objective,” Gary says.
That means studying approval bottlenecks, understanding internal politics, analyzing competitors, and crafting stories that don’t just look premium — they deliver results.

Their strengths?

  • Cinematic commercials
  • Festive brand films
  • Corporate storytelling
  • 3D CGI & animation
  • High-impact explainers
  • Podcast video production

All created under one roof.
All delivered with world-class precision.
All priced in Ringgit, making Singapore MNCs very, very happy.

The Secret Sauce: Reliability + Heart

For 14 years, brands return because:

  • They meet insane deadlines
  • They understand corporate compliance like pros
  • They deliver across all genres (except feature films & TikTok/Reels)
  • Clients from Day 1 are STILL with them today

That kind of loyalty doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens when your work is trusted in rooms where decisions matter.

Gary’s Vision: Bigger, Bolder, Borderless

The next 5–10 years?
Gary is going regional  and raising the next wave of filmmakers who understand story, strategy, and the new world of AI-powered creativity.

His advice to creators:

  • Travel. Watch. Observe. Exposure fuels ideas.
  • Just start. One finished project beats a thousand “someday” dreams.
