Breaking Glass Pictures Acquires N.A. Rights to LGBT/Drama Romance UTOPIANS

Breaking Glass Pictures has acquired North American rights to the LGBT/Drama Romance UTOPIANS (aka Tung lau hap woo). UTOPIANS is the newest feature film from Hong Kong LGBT auteur SCUD (Amphetamine, City Without Baseball). UTOPIANS held its world premiere at the New Director's Film Festival in Japan. The film later held its US Premiere at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, and went on to play at Outfest Fusion and the Chicago International Film Festival.

Richard Wolff, CEO of Breaking Glass, and Amanda Rae Simon, Esq. negotiated the deal with writer/director SCUD and Nicky Ma of Artwalker Limited located in Hong Kong.

"My last 4 consecutive films were in the Chicago International Film Festival, and a friend once told me he saw one of my films looped on TV the whole night in a famous club in New York", said writer/director SCUD. "If I could see my work on the street as well, watched by the people I adore and admire, it would be a dream come true."

"We have long been admirers of the beautiful films from SCUD", said Richard Ross, Co-President of Breaking Glass. "Utopians is sleek, sexual, literate and an immensely engaging work of art."

Breaking Glass is planning a premium VOD and DVD release in early May.

Official Synopsis This visually stunning, erotic drama follows Hins (Adonis He), a young student who finds himself unexpectedly attracted to his handsome, outspoken male professor, Ming (Jackie Chow). Despite - or perhaps because of - his conservative upbringing, Hins is intent on getting close enough to Ming to understand him. It's an experience that transforms his life and comes to define his adult identity.
