$UPERCAPITALIST
Director Simon Yin | USA/Hong Kong | 101 min
A maverick New York hedge fund trader, Conner (Derek Ting), moves to Hong Kong and manages a mega-deal that swiftly escalates beyond his control. Caught between competing forces in a ruthless culture of profits, $upercapitalist inherits the legacy of financial classics such as Wall Street, captivatingly intertwines contemporary and translocal issues in the financial drama, and reiterates the perpetual conflict between ambition, greed, and humanity. Directed by Simon Yin, starring Linus Roache, Kenneth Tsang, Richard Ng, Michael Park, Derek Ting, Darren E. Scott and Kathy Uyen. World Premiere.
