Vancouver Filmmaker: Film Festival

vancouver filmmaker: Featuring fellow Canadians Sandra Oh and Don McKellar, the film focuses on a devoted Chinese immigrant wife Cheng Pei Pei . It has already won the praise of critics and distributors, according to Vancouver Courier. Mongrel Media has picked up the distribution rights and will be releasing it domestically March 9, 2018, according to Stephen Hegyes, the film's co-producer. Showcased as the Opening Night Gala Film, the much-anticipated screening comes on the heels of the movie's successful debut at the Toronto International Film Festival. Hegyes, along with Oh, reunited with Shum almost 25 years later to work on the project following the success of Shum's 1994 film Double Happiness, which catapulted the Vancouver filmmaker into the spotlight. It will present films, talks, workshops and events to bring audiences and creators closer together to discuss, discover and celebrate the world of film. The festival, which runs until Oct. 13, is building on the success of its multi-experiential stream model. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
