Curtis Lum (The Audacity) will star in new horror comedy New Diamond Restaurant from debut feature maker Milton Ng.
New Diamond Restaurant follows Aaron Chan (Lum) as he returns home to tell his father he no longer wants to take over the family restaurant. But before he can, a zombie outbreak traps his fractured family inside.
Forced to fight for survival together, the family must confront threats outside the restaurant, old resentments and cultural expectations. With its setting in the fictional prairie town of Saint-Legal, the film takes inspiration from Ng’s small-town Alberta upbringing.
The cast playing the rest of the Chan family are Vincent Cheng, Phoebe Miu, filmmaker Ng and Alannah Ong. Other cast include Aleks Paunovic, Morgan Taylor Campbell and Lochlyn Munro.
Shooting is underway in British Columbia.
Ng is the writer and director on the indie project. Lum is exec producing the film, with Jessica Ally, Jared Cheer, Natasha Jung and Paolo Valdes serving as co-producers through Dear Hero Studios / New Diamond Film Inc. The production is supported by Telefilm Canada and Creative BC, with Canadian distribution through Photon Films.
