Midi Z Wraps ‘The Unseen Sister,’ First Mainland Chinese Movie, Sets Sights on Hollywood Debut (EXCLUSIVE)


Myanmar-born Midi Z wraps shooting of ‘The Unseen Sister,’ his first Mainland Chinese movie, and gets ready to make his Hollywood debut.

Midi Z, the Taiwan-based Myanmar-born director whose career has expanded from no-budget documentaries and dramas to 2019 Cannes title “ Nina Wu,” has wrapped “ The Unseen Sister,” his first mainstream film in Mainland China. The shift to a mainland China setting and production team, does not seem to faze Z, who talks of a painstaking casting process and Zhao Liying as “the most important part” of making the movie. After that, he delivered a fierce critique of sexism and film industry patriarchy with Taiwan-set “Nina Wu.” His latest completed work is another documentary “The Clinic,” which screened at the recent IDFA.
