LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Kate Li's "Into the Night," a feature film by
Snowise Films, made on a budget of $6,000 with a total cast and crew of
eight members, is scheduled to be screened at two major
international film festivals this October: LA Femme
International Film Festival in Los
Angeles, California, and Cardiff International Film Festival in
Wales, United Kingdom.
"Into the Night" is the feature film directorial debut of
Los Angeles-based film
director Kate Li, a
Harvard and Boston
University graduate. The film depicts the story of a young
woman, following the mysterious murder of her fiancé, who is forced
to sift through facts and lies to arrive at the truth and
escape from the web of manipulation she is caught in. Shot in black
and white and presented in a non-linear fashion, the film breaks a
few boundaries of traditional gender roles and human morality in
classic detective stories and brings a contemporary narrative and
characters to the iconic film noir style.
"We are extremely honored and excited to present 'Into the
Night' at these outstanding film festivals this October," said
Kate Li, who served as director,
co-writer, co-producer, lead actress, editor, and music composer
for the film. "We made this film with $6,000 and eight people, so all we had to
rely on was our creativity and imagination. This film is very much
a story about the underdog, not only in the making of the film but
also in the story it tells: the story of a young woman who is
frequently ignored and taken advantage of; the small person who
feels like his or her voice can't be heard. I hope this film could
resonate with audiences internationally, thanks to the wonderful
screening opportunities these film festivals provide."
The film won Best Feature Film at Sunrise 45 Film Festival in
Michigan in August and is
scheduled to screen at LA Femme International Film Festival
on Saturday, Oct. 19, at
10 a.m. at Regal L.A.
LIVE & 4DX in Los
Angeles, and the Cardiff
International Film Festival on Saturday, Oct. 26, at
the ATRiuM Cinema 2 in Cardiff,
Wales. The filmmakers will be at both screenings to answer
questions.
