Promising New Director Ho Cheuk-Tin

2023-06-06

Winner of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards for "Best New Director" Ho Cheuk-Tin recently visited Canada for the first time. Besides expressing gratitude for the support from fans and promoting his new film "Over My Dead Body", he also shared his journey as a filmmaker of this generation. Ho's debut film, “The Sparring Partner " was a box office success. It was based on the sensational "parricide case" that shook Hong Kong in 2013, aiming to explore the concept of justice through the case. To present authentic courtroom scenes, Ho and his team put a lot of effort into gathering information and even spent a considerable amount of time observing real court proceedings. Although the new dark comedy revolves around corpses again as in his last project, Ho jokingly revealed that the parallel was a mere coincidence. He believed that as a new director, he needed to explore various genres and learn from different actors. He highly praised the young actors in his work, especially the impeccable chemistry between Edan Lui and Ronald Cheng, who portrayed a father-son duo once again. He also highlighted the outstanding performance of Jer Lau. Ho reminded the audience to pay close attention to the film's theme song. Check out for Ho’s interview now!
