HONG KONG – Veteran Hong Kong distribution exec Nan Wong has joined ambitious production and distribution group Sundream Motion Pictures.

Wong, who spent 20 years with Buena Vista partner Intercontinental Film Distributors, takes over at Sundream as general manager of distribution.

As such she will be responsible for film sales, strategy and releasing of all the company's pictures. She will also spearhead Sundream's acquisition of foreign movies for the Hong Kong market.

Sundream, headed by Tsui Siuming, was set up two years ago as the movie arm of Hong Kong cabler and pay-TV group I-Cable. It has already been involved in production and finance of movies including epic "Battle of Wits" and crimer "Eye in the sky." Its upcoming titles include Andy Lau-starrer "The Three Kingdoms" and Sammo Hung vehicle "Howling Arrow."

While company's initial focus was on production, ambition has always been to expand into video and theatrical distribution for Hong Kong and into int'l film sales.

Wong's abrupt departure from the Kadokawa-owned Intercontinental, left the Hong Kong industry guessing. Ankling in February, she said only that she was planning a long holiday.
