Wissenswertes

Somewhere Beyond the Mist is a 2017 Hong Kong drama film directed by King Cheung, with action choreography by Paco Yick Tin-Hung. It was the winning project of the first First Feature Film Initiative and was funded by the Hong Kong Film Development Fund. The film stars Stephy Tang, Rachel Leung, Zeno Koo, Baby Bo, and Kyle Li. The story is inspired by a real-life murder case in the United States involving a Hong Kong teenager and her boyfriend. Somewhere Beyond the Mist made its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) on 15 October 2017.

Production

While living in the United States in 2000, Cheung came across a news story about a Hong Kong teenager, Connie Leung, and her African-American boyfriend, Eric Louissaint, who conspired to murder her parents and dumped their bodies in the East River. Deeply moved by the tragedy, Cheung wrote the first draft of an award-winning script God's Apple.

The script was shelved for seventeen years until Cheung revisited it for the First Feature Film Initiative. After extensive revisions, the story was adapted into his debut feature film. To better resonate with Hong Kong audiences, Cheung relocated the story's setting from the United States to a rural village house in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, aged the characters down to high school students, and incorporated local social issues into the narrative.
