as Asha, one of the few survivors living in Hong Kong after climate change has devastated the city and left it a dark and dangerous place., “while being a survival film at its core, it’s really about living with trauma and picking up the pieces of a broken life. How do you live after the storms of your life have hit?”Wong added that Wang “poured everything into this film, which results in an incredibly intimate and raw character that I’m sure will touch people in a very personal way.

Wang notes, “Josh was someone who always celebrated life. He celebrated the wins, no moment too small. He was so incredibly thoughtful and always had a smile on his face. This is the energy he brought to set. The lightness he brought pulled me out of the places of darkness I had to go to for Asha. Trauma, guilt and grief are just some of the universal emotions that run through . Josh was so incredibly open with sharing his story to help me understand his vision.

Wang is repped by Global Artists Agency and Stride Management. The rights deal was negotiated by Michael Rifkin on behalf of Sony Pictures International Productions and Lurie on behalf of the producers.
