Former LevelK and Memento International executive Derek Lui has launched a Sydney-based sales agency, Surprise H, with an initial slate of three films to be introduced to buyers in Cannes.
Lui says the initial slate reflect the company’s focus on “emotionally driven and distinctive storytelling with strong international potential”.
Leading the slate is I Am Going To Miss You, directed by Brazil’s Daniel Ribeiro and produced by Ribeiro and Diana Almeida, which received its world premiere at BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival in March, and had its Latin American premiere at the Guadalajara International Film Festival earlier this month.
