Greenwich Entertainment Greenwich Entertainment has acquired U.S. distribution rights to “Light Pillar,” the debut feature from Chinese director and screenwriter Xu Zao.
The Shanghai-based Fengduan Pictures production world-premiered in the Perspectives section of the Berlin Film Festival and will receive a theatrical release across the country early next year.
The 2D animated film incorporates live-action sequences featuring veteran actor Da Peng, who also served as executive producer. The story centers on Zha, a janitor at a bankrupt, long-shuttered film studio who retreats into a virtual world, cultivating an online romance and dreaming of a voyage to the Moon. When that digital existence falls apart, the studio’s physical demolition is repurposed as the backdrop for a sci-fi production.
