We’re thrilled to share that THE DISTANCE WE DRIFT, the debut feature film by Lee Sonnie, will have its World Premiere at the 21st Beloit International Film Festival
@beloitfilmfest in March 2026 🎬✨
THE DISTANCE WE DRIFT began as a simple but deeply personal idea, inspired by Sonnie’s own experience of migration — using a minimal, intimate approach to explore displacement, memory, and longing for Hong Kong.
Thank you to the programmers and jury for believing in a quiet, intimate story about migration, memory, and love.
We are deeply grateful to our co-producers Man Kit Tse, Cheung Chui Mei, Lee ka Cheuk, with special thanks to
@harrycheung . Through countless challenges along the way, heartfelt thanks to our incredible cast and crew — this film would not exist without you.
