ComingSoon is debuting an teaser trailer for the upcoming short film that marks the directorial debut of actor-turned-writer/director Liam Ma.
Song for No One follows the story of Gene, the host of an independent radio show in Brooklyn that is looking to find a bigger audience. In a twist of sorts, his radio show is heard by his recently deceased mother. The film is set to have its world premiere at the Canadian Pan-Asian film festival Reel Asian on November 16, 2024.
The film is written and directed by Liam Ma, who is best known for his roles in the Prime Video series Cruel Intentions, as well as in the television series Streams Flow From a River. Starring in the film are Giullian Yao Gioiello (Sharper, Iron Fist), Felice Choi (Pachinko, Master of None), and Stella Kim (Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Alice).
Check out the exclusive Song for No One teaser trailer below:
“From his apartment in Brooklyn, Gene (Giullian Yao Gioiello) hosts an independent radio show to platform his music in hopes of one day finding a dedicated audience,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “Instead, his radio show reaches his recently deceased mother, Sook-Ja (Felice Choi), in the afterlife, through a radio powered by the stationary bikes that Sook-Ja and her interpreter, Han Sol (Stella Kim), ride each day.”
“Song for No One is a deeply personal exploration of grief, love, and the undying connections that bind us to those we’ve lost. This film is a tribute to the enduring spirit of my mother and to the many ways she continues to shape my life,” says Ma in a statement. “It is an immense privilege to share this experience with such a gifted cast and crew in bringing this story to life.” The film also features original music from Gioiello, ’ma 間’, released under the moniker of Tarune, an introspective song that delves into his emotions from early childhood, when his mother left for Taiwan.
