About Aain Movie Archaeologist (AMA)
ASIAN MOVIE ARCHAEOLOGIST (AMA) is a new half-hour cultural TV program in Putonghua, Cantonese, and English, devoted to Asian cinema in general and Hong Kong/Chinese movies in particular. Our purpose is to fill the void that now exists on television when it comes to movie-related programs: they're either star gossip, PR promotion, or a combination of both. Not that there's anything wrong with those kinds of programs, but film buffs also hunger for something that delves beneath the surface yet still remains entertaining. AMA hopes to fill that void by exploring topics ranging from in-depth interviews with today's stars, to offbeat subjects in cinematic lore dating back to the birth of Asia's motion picture industry.
A unique aspect of AMA's behind-the-scenes team is the cooperation of film and media students from universities in such countries and regions as Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan. Not only will AMA provide them with an opportunity to participate in media production and greater exposure to the movie world, but they in turn will help give AMA a young perspective even as the program explores nostalgic topics from Asian cinema's earliest days.

The Star - Sunday June 6, 2010 AT a glance, the vivacious lady may be mistaken for Hong Kong superstar Sammi Cheng.
Sassy and statuesque, Elaine Ang easily held her own when she posed for a photocall with half a dozen beauty queens and models including Amber Chia at the press conference to launch Paul Fonoroff’s TV show Asian Movie Archaeologist (AMA).
Though they have known each other for only a year after meeting through a mutual friend in Hong Kong, they get along like a house on fire.
“We call it yuan fen (fated to meet). I like movies very much so my friend decided to introduce us. When we met, it triggered all these ideas and plans,” said Ang, who will be co-hosting AMA with Fonoroff.
