EXCLUSIVE: Ashok Amritraj’s Hyde Park Entertainment Group and Warner Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group’s film and television division, have announced the winner of the Hyde Park Entertainment & Warner Music Entertainment Fast Track Fellowship as part of their Asian Women Fellowship program.
Writer/director Tiffanie Hsu and producer Pin-Chun Liu were chosen from an initial set of ten finalists and have been awarded a $12,500 grant and development support. Their winning project, Wonderland, follows an intrepid ten-year-old who embarks on a journey to track down her mother, who disappears in Las Vegas with the family bankroll. With the help of a devious and ambitious magician, she hopes to bring her mother home in time for Christmas, before her father finds out.
The initiative, run in partnership with Film Independent, is designed to showcase women-identifying writers and writer-directors who are Asian or part of the Asian diaspora and are ready to take their next step into the mainstream entertainment industry. With guidance from industry advisors at the top of their fields, the winners continue to develop and package their feature film projects, with the ultimate goal of shopping the final screenplays to major studios and streamers. The Fellowship is aligned with Hyde Park Entertainment and Warner Music Group’s shared, ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Hsu said, “We’re thrilled to be a part of an initiative committed to empowering Asian women to tell their stories. Wonderland is deeply meaningful to Pin-Chun and I – both through the short we made together and the feature we’ve been developing – and we couldn’t be happier to share it now with Hyde Park Entertainment and Warner Music Entertainment.
