Distribution Workshop has picked up international rights to Chinese director Steven Zhang Zhonghua’s IOU, a comedy drama set against the background of recent illegal fundraising scams, starring Aaron Kwok.
The film is produced by Hong Kong’s Julia Chu, reuniting with Kwok after their work together on Port Of Call (2015) and Where The Wind Blows (2022).
Zhang is described as an emerging talent from China’s post-80s generation. Kwok is one of Hong Kong’s biggest stars, recently appearing in Twilight Of The Warriors: Walled In.
Taipei-based Distribution Workshop will launch sales on the film at Filmart, which is taking place March 17-20 in Hong Kong.
