Since independent filmmaker Jennifer Thym first wowed viewers globally with her dark, modern-day fairy tale Lumina, she’s been busy winning awards on the festival circuit and producing short films and web series. While most of her productions have a dark element in them, such as Lumina and her upcoming films Bloodtraffik (a vigilante and an ex-cop in the middle of a vampires vs. angels holy war) and Jasmine (a widower decides to take justice into his own hands after his wife is murdered), this time out, she tries her hand at something different. Thym spent this summer directing what she calls a “quirky comedy” and a romantic fish-out-of-water story, Mister French Taste.
Mister French Taste is an etiquette coach who is faced with the challenge of a lifetime: transforming the unruly Leon, the only son of a conservative Hong Kong family, and a constant source of scandals and shame, into a perfectly groomed gentleman, while at the same time trying to steal the heart of Lily, the beautiful young heiress to a Hong Kong fashion empire who’s educated and smart, and fluent in the art of shopping. Watch Hong Kong and France collide in this hilarious comedy of manners!
