It is always going to be painful leaving all the comfort behind to go somewhere where you don't even know if you can pay the bills doing what you're good at doing. But for Rayve Zen, there’s always a strong need to leave the nest, even though he is a Singapore boy at heart. We speak to Rayve how he deals with uncertainty and what drives him to uproot himself from Hong Kong and start all over again in Los Angeles.

Rayve is a Singaporean actor based in Los Angeles. He is known for his parts in the Hollywood series Sunnyside Up, Hong Kong movie Shock Wave, and Singaporean productions Zombiepura, Mata Mata, Glass Anatomy and Spring Awakening

TV in the 2020s may not even look like TV as we know. Our children are already device-agnostic — looking for TV anywhere they can find it. The future of the media is in content itself, no longer the devices we are watching on. We speak to Warner Kids Carlene Tan about how children’s viewing habits (Youtube, TikTok & gaming) and social relevant programming are set to shape the future of television. 

Carlene Tan is the new director of original production and development for Warner Kids division in Asia Pacific. As departmental lead, she is responsible for identifying new IP and producing original series for Cartoon Network, Boomerang and POGO.
