A psychological police thriller series from the Golden Lion contender is part of the Singapore-based production outfit's growing slate.

Also on Akanga’s slate is “Waiting for Godard” (pictured, top), a debut feature written and directed by Vu Minh Nghia, whose short film “Live in Cloud Cuckoo Land” premiered in Venice’s Horizons strand in 2020. Noting how his Singapore-based shingle is “passionate about discovering and supporting emerging voices in the industry,” Borgia said: “We are particularly excited about our work with filmmaker Vu Minh Nghia from Vietnam, whose unique perspective and storytelling approach are sure to add something special to our creative projects.”
