Hungry Ghost Diner
《饿鬼食堂》

“After her long-unseen uncle mysteriously turns up one night at her food truck in Kuala Lumpur, Bonnie drives home to her semi-estranged father in a village up north. With a sudden lockdown preventing her return, she is forced to spend the night at the family-owned café, where she encounters the ghosts of those dearly departed gathering around for a scrumptious meal.

The dead and the living are connected through their stomachs in We Jun Cho’s heartwarming food-centric dramedy, Hungry Ghost Diner, set among the Malaysian Chinese community during the weeks preceding the Hungry Ghost Festival. The film finds a unique tone for its subject, poised between bittersweet family drama, surreal fantasy and matter-of-fact horror, but always leaning on the side of levity. This is a work in which musical numbers rub shoulders with resplendent puppet shows and stately religious ceremonies.

With its vibrant, expressive cinematography, propulsive score and an endearing, doe-eyed lead performance by singer Keat Yoke Chen, Hungry Ghost Diner tells an entertaining and universal story of reconnecting with one’s family.”

What we do

CORPORATE PROFILE

Creative development

Collaborating closely with filmmakers in developing and producing narrative works, we seek out fresh and authentic Asian stories.

Co-production

We provide production services to international co-producers on film and TV projects, on various stages of the production process. As a legitimate FINAS-licensed Malaysian film company with impeccable standing, co-productions carried out with us should qualify to benefit from the “Film In Malaysia Incentive” (FIMI), a 30% cash rebate to projects with a Malaysian producer attached. We seek projects that are creative co-productions, and not just industrial ones. It is worth noting that we can only consider co-producing on international projects that already have some finance secured in their own territory. To find out more about co-producing with us, please email us with more information about your project.
