‘The Fighter’ Producer Keith Dorrington Partners With IW Group on Adoption Drama ‘Hou Yi’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Producer and writer Keith Dorrington will partner with the IW Group for his next film, 'Hou Yi,' which follows the adoption of a Chinese girl.
Inspired by Dorrington’s experience working in China during the 1990s, the story chronicles an American businessman’s unlikely adoption of a three-year-old orphan girl named Hou Yi. “As an agency that works at the intersection of Hollywood, Madison Avenue and Asia, we feel there are some amazing untapped opportunities in his current media landscape,” said Bill Imada, co-founder and chairman of IW Group and 2024 AAF Advertising Hall of Fame inductee, who serves as a producer on “Hou Yi.” “With IW Group approaching our 35th anniversary next year, I felt it was time to embark on an exciting new chapter and I can’t think of a better way to begin this journey than to collaborate with a writer of Keith’s caliber to bring his powerful and inspirational story to the silver screen.” He added, “IW Group has always specialized in telling unique cultural stories in bold and innovative ways — this new venture just takes that philosophy to a whole new exciting level.”
