Van said more than 20 billion VND (nearly 900,000 USD) was invested in filming to ensure high-quality production. It was her second film, after “Ngay nay ngay nay” (The Lost Dragon) in 2014, which attracted more than 500,000 people in HCM City after the first three weeks of its release.
Van performed in several films directed by Vietnamese and overseas Vietnamese directors before becoming a director and producer herself.
Another Asian female directors presented at the event include Hitomi Kuroki from Japan with her directorial debut “Desperate Sunflowers” and Konkona Sen Sharma from India also with her first movie released - “A Death in the Gunj”.
