There’s been nothing tranquil about the B.C.-set immigrant drama “Riceboy Sleeps” since its buzz-laden debut at Toronto International Film Festival last year.
After its September premiere, the mother-son film collected a slew of festival awards, including $25,000 prizes at TIFF and the Windsor International Film Festival, the title of best Canadian film at the Vancouver International Film Festival and an audience prize at the Busan International Film Festival.
Shim notes the film will test the public’s appetite for cinema now that the pandemic seems to have waned. Reached recently in Chicago where the show films, he says “The Chi” producers caught the film at TIFF and were so impressed they tapped him for episode four of the upcoming sixth season. Mostly he’s keen to bring to life his own written work.Invariably these stories are about families and the complex dynamics that can both bind and strain kin.
“That balance was so important…. Certain actors were great, looked perfect for the part, but their Korean was not good enough,“ he says.
