(91) Johnny Mak (麥當雄), a Hong Kong TV director in late 1970s famed for realistic storytelling, set up his own production house in 1982, and had been active in film production since then. Director Mak became a trendsetter in various dramatic themes in blockbusters such as Possessed (1983), Long Arm of the Law (1984), The Truth (1988), Sentenced to Hang (1989) and To be Number One (1991). The company's final production was Island of Greed (1997), directed by his brother Michael (麥當傑).
Stephen Shiu (蕭若元), a long time colleague with Mak back to the TV years, often served as producer and scriptwriter in JMP's films. His son later set up China 3D Digital Entertainment (中國3D數碼娛樂) in 2011, continued for film and TV production - the company even borrowed Johnny Mak Productions' jingle once for its own!
