It seems that the 2018 movie “Distinction” by Jevons Au, has created some ripples to the Hong Kong movie industry, with a number of titles that focus on similar issues being presented this year. “In Broad Daylight” inspired by true events regarding the local health system and particularly the treatment of the elderly, is definitely one of those.
In Broad Daylight is screening at Five Flavours
Kay is a tough and harsh investigative reporter, who, after a tip about the residents of an elderly care home being abused by the staff, decides to go undercover in the facility, posing as the granddaughter of one of them, and see the truth for herself.

Spyder Dobrofsky is probably not a name you would expect to see credited on Christmas-themed TV movies, but that’s exactly how Dobrofsky got started out, working on the scripts for such flicks as The Housewives of the North Pole and One Christmas Wish, as well as Mom’s Day Away. When he made his feature directorial debut, it was on a movie called Spiral, which was something you’d expect to see a Spyder credited with: a mystery thriller. Now Deadline has broken the news that Dobrofsky is working on a holiday horror movie called Down Below… and he has assembled a solid cast for the project. The legendary Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight) stars alongside Bai Ling (The Crow), Alexis Knapp (Pitch Perfect), and Doug Jones, who is best known for his creature (or heavily made up) performances in films like The Shape of Water, Hellboy, and Hocus Pocus.
