(Calgary, Canada – May 20, 2026) – Ahdooh Consulting Canada officially announces the launch of VNFACES, a new international entertainment initiative beginning on May 20, 2026. The project is designed to connect emerging Vietnamese talent with opportunities in the Canadian, American, Australian, and New Zealand entertainment markets while also creating new collaboration opportunities for Canadian entertainment companies in Vietnam.
As diversity and multicultural storytelling continue to shape the future of the North American entertainment industry, the demand for authentic new Asian faces and voices has grown significantly across film, television, digital media, commercials, and fashion. VNFACES was created to help bridge this growing market demand with Vietnam’s rising generation of talented artists, actors, models, performers, and content creators.
Positioned as “A Gateway to Global Stardom,” VNFACES aims to build a long-term talent and production ecosystem connecting Vietnam with international entertainment industries.
How VNFACES Benefits the Canadian Entertainment Industry
- Connecting Canadian producers, casting agencies, talent agencies, and brands with emerging Vietnamese and Asian talent suitable for international productions.
- Supporting the growing demand for authentic Asian representation in North American films, streaming content, television, advertising, and fashion campaigns.
- Helping Canadian independent film productions explore Vietnam as a filming destination with significantly lower production costs compared to many Western markets.
- Assisting Canadian production teams with local partnerships, filming permits, scouting services, cultural consultation, and production support in Vietnam.
- Creating networking opportunities between Canadian and Vietnamese filmmakers, producers, and creative professionals.
- Supporting cultural exchange projects and co-production opportunities between Canada and Vietnam.
Vietnam is increasingly becoming an attractive production destination due to its diverse landscapes, growing creative workforce, modern urban environments, and highly competitive production costs. Through VNFACES, Canadian independent filmmakers can access local support systems that help reduce logistical barriers and production expenses while maintaining high creative potential.
Opportunities for Vietnamese Talent
VNFACES also focuses on preparing Vietnamese artists for international opportunities through:
- English communication and cultural integration training.
- International portfolio and personal branding development.
- Guidance for international auditions and casting opportunities.
- Connections with international producers, agencies, and creative partners.
- Educational consulting for entertainment-related programs in Canada and the United States.
Ms. Tina Slaght, CEO of Ahdooh Consulting Canada, shared:
“With my years of experience working in media and entertainment in Vietnam, including leadership experience at VTC10 Television, combined with my understanding of the North American market, I strongly believe Vietnamese talent has tremendous international potential. At the same time, the entertainment industry in Canada and North America is actively seeking fresh multicultural voices and authentic Asian representation.
One of the biggest challenges for many talented Vietnamese artists is not talent itself, but language barriers, cultural differences, and limited international industry access. VNFACES was created to help bridge those gaps and create meaningful opportunities for both Vietnamese talent and international entertainment partners.”
In 2026, VNFACES plans to identify and develop several promising Vietnamese talents for international introduction while also initiating cultural and entertainment collaboration projects between Vietnam and Canada. The project aims to contribute to a stronger creative partnership between the two countries and support the evolving diversity of the global entertainment industry.
