What people are saying
I hope our audiences will be entertained by this dark comedy with genre moments and think a little more about the choices they make and the lives they want to lead.
We were also entertained by the humorous script which takes the story in a few surprising directions, without losing sight of the character’s journey.
We believe our film has a chance to travel and do well in various Asian markets.
