“We need more love stories, even if they have their ups and downs,” says Hong Kong-based producer Cora Yim, who is behind the Hong Kong – Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF) in-development project…
The film is a simple-to-describe idea that writer-director Lawrence Kan has been kicking around and developing for some six years. The story involves a middle-class professional couple — he’s in the legal sector, she’s in finance — and tracks their childless, but not loveless, marriage over a period of 10 years from marriage to divorce.
“I’d seen Lawrence’s ‘When C Goes With G7’ and last year watched ‘In Geek We Trust,’ the TV show that he made in Hong Kong. I was really impressed by its overall quality and depth, but especially by the strength of its dialog. That’s a rare thing,” says Yim. “So, on the strength of that I sought him out and found out what else he was working on.”
