Hong Kong sales company Moebius Entertainment has boarded Taiwanese film “Double Happiness” for international sales across Asia-Pacific territories, following the film’s world premiere at the Tokyo International Film Festival.
Joseph Chen-Chieh Hsu, who previously directed “Little Big Women,” helmed the comedy-drama. The cast features Kuan-Ting Liu, known for his work in “A Sun” and “Old Fox,” alongside Jennifer Yu (“In Broad Daylight,” “Sisterhood”) and veteran actress Kuei-mei Yang, whose credits include “Vive L’Amour” and “Eat Drink Man Woman.”
Clifford 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 — without either knowing about the other’s plans.
Moebius Entertainment CEO Fred Tsui expressed enthusiasm about reuniting with Miu after they previously worked together on “American Girl.”
“Clifford’s films have a rare blend of humor, empathy, and cross-cultural resonance,” said Tsui. “‘Double Happiness’ captures the chaos and warmth of modern Asian family life in a way that feels both universal and deeply personal. We’re excited to introduce it to distributors across the APEC [Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation] region.”
The sales agreement was finalized at the Tokyo festival, marking another step in Moebius’s expansion at international markets as the company continues emphasizing quality filmmaking from Asian directors.
The company is currently handling worldwide sales for Chinese title “Wild Nights, Tamed Beasts,” 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, plus best script and best actor at the First Film Festival.
Moebius’s roster includes Peter Chan’s “She Has No Name” and “She Has a Name,” Philip Yung’s “Papa,” Jame Hung’s “My First of May” and Nick Cheung’s “Peg O’ My Heart.”
The 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.
