- Blacklight Global Entertainment acquired U.S. distribution rights to 'We're Nothing At All,' the Audience Choice Award winner at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, with a Los Angeles theatrical launch beginning October 2026 including a West Coast Premiere on October 10 at The Culver Theater.
- Deal negotiations involved Janice Leung for Blacklight Global and Hong Kong-based Golden Scene on behalf of the filmmakers; the production was self-financed, with Yau writing, directing, and producing.
- "We're Nothing At All" follows a retired forensic expert investigating a double-decker bus explosion whose victims include Fai and Ike, a gay couple — exploring abuse, homophobia, and social alienation.
- Herman Yau has directed more than 100 films over four decades, with credits including The Untold Story, Ebola Syndrome, and Shock Wave.
- The film stars Patrick Tam, Anson Kong, and Ansonbean, and made its North American premiere at the New York Asian Film Festival.
Why it matters: The acquisition gives Yau — whose four-decade career spans more than 100 films — a stateside theatrical launch at The Culver Theater on October 10, 2026, and establishes recently-launched Blacklight Global as a distributor of Asian and international arthouse titles in American cinemas.
