1999 also marked a watershed for Singapore films. Raintree Pictures, the filmmaking subsidiary of MediaCorp Productions, was started. Raintree Pictures invested in two regional co-productions, "Liang Po Po" and "The Truth About Jane and Sam", which starred Singaporean television lead actress Fann Wong with Taiwanese singer Peter Ho and Hong Kong director Derek Yee. Raintree Pictures would finance a number of local and Hong Kong productions in years to come, and are the producer company of the films of Jack Neo. Subsequent productions, such as "2000 AD" (2000) and "The Tree" (2001), also drew on Hong Kong star power; the company invested in critically acclaimed regional films such as "The Eye" (2002) and "Infernal Affairs II" (2003). Raintree Pictures also produced two English-language local productions, "Chicken Rice War" (2000) and "One Leg Kicking" (2001).
