- Lee Sinje co-wrote and co-produced 'Dead Tide,' which world premiered in the Hidden Dragons competition for Chinese-language films at the 10th Pingyao Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon International Film Festival.
- Lee Sinje simultaneously sits on the jury for the Crouching Tigers international competition at the same festival, putting the Malaysian star in both creator and gatekeeper roles.
- 'Dead Tide' debuted in the Hidden Dragons section — the festival's Chinese-language film competition — making the premiere its first public screening.
Why it matters: Lee Sinje occupies a rare dual role at Pingyao: she co-wrote and co-produced a film competing in one section while sitting on the jury evaluating peers' work in another, placing the Malaysian actress simultaneously as creator and gatekeeper at a major Chinese-language film festival.
