Peter Loehr

Peter Loehr was born in 1967. After seven years of entertainment industry experience in Japan and Taiwan, Peter Loehr established Imar Film Co., Ltd., China's first independent film company, in 1995. Imar was China's first true, multi-faceted independent film company, producing, distributing and marketing all of their films entirely in-house. Loehr was selected as one of Variety's "10 Producers to Watch" in 1999.

Loehr has produced nine feature films in Asia, including: "Spicy Love Soup", which swept the 1998 domestic Chinese awards; "Shower" (1999), which won 11 awards at nine different film festivals, including Toronto, San Sebastian, Thessaloniki, Rotterdam, Udine and Seattle, and "Quitting" (2001), which won awards at the Bangkok, Singapore and Film Festivals. All five Imar produced films were among the top domestic releases in China the year they were released.

In early 2002, Loehr began a new venture, Ming Productions, focusing on larger scale Asian-themed pictures for a world audience. His sixth film, "Sunflower" (directed by Zhang Yang, starring Sun Haiying and Joan Chen) won Best Director and Best Cinematography awards at the 2005 San Sebastian Film Festival. Loehr's seventh film, "One Last Dance" (Directed by Max Makowski, starring Francis Ng, Ti Lung and Harvey Keitel) attended the Sundance Film Festival in the World Dramatic Competition. In 2005, Loehr was a producer on "Jade Warrior", a Finnish/Dutch/Estonian Co-Production that premiered at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival and had number one opening weekends at both the Chinese and Finnish box offices. In 2007, Loehr was a producer on "The Children of Huang Shi", a German/Australian/Chinese Co-Production directed by Roger Spottiswoode and starring Jonathan Rhys-Myers, Radha Mitchell, Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh. The film was released world-wide in 2008.
