\n\tHong Kong sales company Moebius Entertainment<\/a> has boarded Taiwanese film \u201cDouble Happiness<\/a>\u201d for international sales across Asia-Pacific territories, following the film\u2019s world premiere at the Tokyo International Film Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tJoseph Chen-Chieh Hsu, who previously directed \u201cLittle Big Women,\u201d helmed the comedy-drama. The cast features Kuan-Ting Liu, known for his work in \u201cA Sun\u201d and \u201cOld Fox,\u201d alongside Jennifer Yu (\u201cIn Broad Daylight,\u201d \u201cSisterhood\u201d) and veteran actress Kuei-mei Yang, whose credits include \u201cVive L\u2019Amour\u201d and \u201cEat Drink Man Woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tClifford Miu produces the project, which centers on a wedding that descends into chaos when a soon-to-be-married man discovers both of his long-separated parents have independently organized his wedding reception for the same day at the same venue \u2014 without either knowing about the other\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n

\n\tMoebius Entertainment CEO Fred Tsui expressed enthusiasm about reuniting with Miu after they previously worked together on \u201cAmerican Girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cClifford\u2019s films have a rare blend of humor, empathy, and cross-cultural resonance,\u201d said Tsui. \u201c\u2018Double Happiness\u2019 captures the chaos and warmth of modern Asian family life in a way that feels both universal and deeply personal. We\u2019re excited to introduce it to distributors across the APEC [Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation] region.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe sales agreement was finalized at the Tokyo festival, marking another step in Moebius\u2019s expansion at international markets as the company continues emphasizing quality filmmaking from Asian directors.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe company is currently handling worldwide sales for Chinese title \u201cWild Nights, Tamed Beasts,\u201d which secured a direction award for Wang Tong at the Rome film festival after previously winning the jury grand prize and best actress for Regina Wang at the Shanghai International Film Festival<\/a>, plus best script and best actor at the First Film Festival.<\/p>\n

\n\tMoebius\u2019s roster includes Peter Chan\u2019s \u201cShe Has No Name\u201d and \u201cShe Has a Name,\u201d Philip Yung\u2019s \u201cPapa,\u201d Jame Hung\u2019s \u201cMy First of May\u201d and Nick Cheung\u2019s \u201cPeg O\u2019 My Heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hong Kong-based operation focuses on bringing auteur-driven and commercially viable Asian films to international buyers, building bridges between regional filmmakers and worldwide audiences through strategic festival programming and market positioning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hong Kong sales company Moebius Entertainment has boarded Taiwanese film \u201cDouble Happiness\u201d for international sales across Asia-Pacific territories,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116147,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[69912,93,61,60,69913,270,8169],"class_list":["post-116146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-double-happiness","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-moebius-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-tokyo-international-film-festival"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116146"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116146\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
