The sales veteran represents Asian territories at AFM on the US-China rom-com produced by Janet Yang.

Daniel Hsia directed the film, which shot entirely in Shanghai and follows a New York attorney sent to China for work who runs into legal trouble and must enlist the help of a beautiful relocation specialist, a foreign businessman, a journalist and a street-smart assistant.

Shanghai Calling screened at the market and stars Daniel Henney, Bill Paxton, Eliza Coupe, Geng Le, Zhu Zhu and Alan Ruck.

Yang is the only US filmmaker to have a first-look deal with China Film Group, the China Film Company subsidiary which is financing the project alongside private investors.

China Film Group is distributing in China.
