Goodbye Monster - SHAN HAI JING ZHI ZAI JIAN GUAI SHOU

Pitch

The world of Kunlun, made up of thousands of islands, is threatened by malevolent forces. Bai Ze, a great healer, endangers his island in his attempt to protect it and is banished by his masters. Seven years later, he returns to redeem himself. “It was the question of mental well-being that drove me to create this film. In recent years, more and more friends and family members have been diagnosed with mental illnesses. They suffer from insomnia and can't seem to escape the darkness. Pain is something everyone experiences, sometimes daily, which forces people to cope with it in all sorts of ways. I wondered if it was possible to liberate those who are suffering. My answer isn't scientific or medical, nor is it about providing clear-cut answers.” As a filmmaker, it was about building a world full of possibilities for people to dream in. – Huang Jianming
