Chance of a Lifetime [TV Series]

In April 2013, Hyde Park-Image Nation, The United Nations Organization (UN), the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations, and Variety Magazine collaborated to produce a non-scripted TV series entitled Chance of a Lifetime hosted by internationally renowned award-winning producer Ashok Amritraj (Ghost rider, Premonition, Street fighter).

Twelve filmmakers from the United Arab Emirates, India, and Singapore are divided into teams and work together to survive various filmmaking tasks and ultimately make the winning 10-minute short film. The topics and tone of each film will reflect the UN’s priority global causes.

Winner of the programme, Yu Xian’s film “From X to Y” was awarded a special mention by Hollywood's Variety Magazine during the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. The film was screened in The United Headquarter’s in New York and aired in Participant Media Pivot Channel and National Geographic Channel worldwide.
