- Moebius Entertainment has boarded international sales for Michelle Zhou's "Big Little Things," which will premiere in the Horizons section of this year's Venice Film Festival.
- "Big Little Things" follows a woman who returns to her hometown of Harbin after years in the United States and finds herself caught between her life with her girlfriend and the expectations of her family and community.
- The film is produced as a Hong Kong-US collaboration exploring identity, family, cultural displacement, and the tension between tradition and self-determination.
- The project previously won the Activator Market Potential Award at the 2025 Golden Horse Film Project Promotion (FPP) in Taipei, where it was selected among the year's most promising projects from emerging Asian filmmakers.
- Fred Tsui, founder and CEO of Moebius Entertainment, called Zhou "a distinctive new filmmaking voice" whose work captures "the quiet but profound conflicts that define many lives today."
- Moebius also recently acquired Fiona Roan Feng-I's "Happily Ever After", which will world premiere in the Special Presentations section of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
Why it matters: Moebius's dual pickups — Zhou's "Big Little Things" for Venice Horizons and Fiona Roan Feng-I's "Happily Ever After" for TIFF — position the Hong Kong-based sales outfit as a growing pipeline for emerging Asian filmmakers targeting two of the 2025 festival circuit's most influential launchpads, giving both projects a direct path to international buyers.
