Best Actor Nick Cheung Ka Fai two days ago arrived in Italy to prepare for the film he directed and starred in, PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG)'s participation in the Udine Far East Film Festival world premiere on April 30th. The film also starred Terrance Lau Chun Him and Fala Chen. After KEEPER OF DARKNESS (TOR DEI KUI MOR YUN) he has brought another one of his own films to take part in the film festival. Ka Fai went over half the Earth, after two transfers he finally arrived in Udine.

Ka Fai upon arrival attended the event's "Hong Kong Night" and dined with many Hong Kong filmmakers like Felix Chong Man Keung, Lawrence Kan Kwan Chun, Jonathan Li Tsz Chun, Rachel Leung Yung Ting and others. They were happy to see each of them bringing their own work to meet with overseas viewers and enjoy this film festival journey. At the Hong Kong Night dinner, Ka Fai again met with film festival founders Sabrina and Thomas and thanked them for years of strong support and appreciation of Hong Kong films.

Despite the long journey, Ka Fai was more happy than tired. Udine has left a good impression on him, and he was reminded of when he first stepped foot onto this place that was full of European color with the film THE BEAST STALKER (JING YUN). Before leaving he even called the film's director Dante Lam Chiu Yin, they promised to have to work together again and bring their new film to the film festival again.
