Eclectic and energetic musician, director, actor Chiu Sin-hang is a busy bee. Other than being the lead vocalist of local band ToNick and acting, he managed in 2017 to co-direct with Pak-Wing Yan one of the most cherished films of the last few years, “Vampire Cleanup Department”, which injected new life into the beloved goeng-si genre from the great days of 1980s/‘90s Hong Kong Cinema. This time he is solo-directing another film with a very local flavour, a feeling of nostalgia and a touch of supernatural. Written by Ashley Cheung (“Vampire Cleanup Department” and the excellent “Distinction”) and Ryan Wai-Chun Ling, “One Second Champion” delves into boxing territory and it has just been released in Hong Kong (late on schedule due to the pandemic) where is already proving a local success as box office champion in the first week. Hopefully not just for one second!
