In 2017, Joanne Goh founded Jazzy Pictures, a film production and distribution company.[3]

In 2018, along with Pixel Play Entertainment, Goh co-produced Crossroads: One Two Jaga, which won Best Film at the 30th Malaysia Film Festival and other local awards.[4] The film's positive reception paved the way for "a new direction for an industry that comes under close government scrutiny when it comes to subject matter, with its themes of corruption and crime".[5] In the same year, Goh produced Fly By Night, which premiered in the 23rd Busan International Film Festival.[6]

In 2019, Goh produced Nina Wu, a film that was a response to and a reflection of the #MeToo movement.[7] Directed by Taiwanese director Midi Z, the film was selected to compete in the 72nd Cannes Film Festival.[8]

Goh's upcoming projects include Transamazonia and June.

MIFFest & MGGA

Established in 2016, the Malaysia International Film Festival (MIFFest) and the Malaysia Global Golden Awards (MGGA) aim to showcase curated films from all over the world, and to recognize a collection of works selected by a panel of judges who are veterans of the film industry.[9] In an interview with the New Straits Times, Goh said that "the purpose of both events is to build a communication platform for global filmmakers and to promote the Malaysian film industry, as well as its arts and culture to the world".[10] Through MiFFest and MGGA, Goh also hopes to promote the Malaysian tourism and arts industries. The festival is supported by the National Film Development Corporation (FINAS), Tourism Malaysia and several other local film associations.[11]
