Emerging filmmaker and Hong Kong native, Tiger Ji, has secured a contract with Anonymous Content for professional management.
At present, Ji is working on his initial feature adaption for “Death & Ramen” in collaboration with Fit Via Vi Film Productions, who have previously produced projects like “Oh Canada” and “Reality”. Prior to this, Ji directed the 2023 short film titled “Death & Ramen”, featuring comedian Bobby Lee from “Borderlands” and “Pineapple Express”, as well as actor Matt Jones from “Breaking Bad”. This short movie made its debut at the Palm Springs Shortfest and was distributed globally by Canal+. The short film garnered more than 1 million views on YouTube within a month of its release. It narrates the story of a ramen chef embarking on an unexpected nighttime journey alongside the Grim Reaper, where they share a bowl of noodles and explore the essence of humanity.
At the age of 19, Ji initially garnered acclaim with his prize-winning short film titled “Wuhan Driver.” This piece particularly impressed executive producer Jonathan Sanger, who is known for productions like “Vanilla Sky” and “The Elephant Man.” The narrative focuses on a Chinese Uber driver residing in New York, grappling with financial difficulties as the pandemic begins. Subsequently, Ji received the title of ‘Filmmaker of the Future’ at the Rhode Island International Film Festival for this project.
A filmmaker attended NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study, focusing on philosophy and delving into Russian literature. This scholar was mentored by renowned directors like Ruben Ostlund (“Triangle Of Sadness,” “The Square”) and Lucrecia Martel (“La Ciénaga”). Ji’s films are a unique blend of Eastern and Western influences, combining the absurd with gravity, reflecting his fascination with Hong Kong cinema.
Ji will continue to be represented by UTA.
