A Familiar Stranger
Shi Qi (Ke Ying) is a skilled and kind-hearted artist who, during a painting commission, discovers an affair between the chancellor’s ruthless and manipulative daughter, Shen Qin (Kay Song), and the king of the realm, King Ning (Wang Ze Xuan). Shen Qin is set to marry the influential general Xiao Han Sheng (Ryan Cheng). However, after Shi Qi inadvertently witnesses dangerous and sinister activities at court, she becomes entangled in the turmoil. To escape the situation, Shen Qin arranges for a magician to exchange her face with Shi Qi’s, allowing them to switch identities. As a result, Shi Qi is now betrothed to Xiao Han Sheng, while Shen Qin assumes the painter’s identity. The real Shi Qi, however, had previously crossed paths with Xiao Han Sheng years earlier, though he does not recognize her in her new guise.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
