A consortium of Chinese investors are to finance the Konwiser Brothers' latest indie feature
The Shanghai Kid, says Variety.
The feature, based on a semi-autobiographical script by David Ren, follows a young, struggling Chinese-American actor who falls for a high school girl in the U.S. When he inherits his grandmother's house in Shanghai and travels there, he falls for a beguiling Chinese girl.
The project begins shooting in Shanghai next month after wrapping in Los Angeles.
