The upcoming Nick Cheung Ka Fai written, directed and starred film release PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) has been invited to participate in a number of overseas film festivals since the beginning of the year and has been highly praised. Recently PEG O' MY HEART received more good news as it has been selected for three European film festivals, including the Fantasy Filmfest in Germany, the Grimmfest in Manchester, United Kingdom, and the L'Étrange Film Festival in Paris. Ka Fai said with excitement, "I've always wanted to be versatile in my work, regardless of the subject matter, characters, and appearances, I have hoped to be able to find something fresh creatively. Playing a vengeful outlaw in GO FOR BROKE and a mental patient in PEG O' MY HEART, both roles can satisfy my desire to act. Of course, the desire is endless and I still deeply hope that I can meet more challenges and meet more good partners in the future so we can chase the film road together."

PEG O' MY HEART has attracted wide attention from overseas film festivals, earlier it has been selected for the Udine Far East Film Festival, the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in Korea, the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival in Spain and the Malaysia International Film Festival. Now it has been chosen for three more European film festivals. Ka Fai said, "PEG O' MY HEART has caught the eyes of so many overseas film festival, which instead has added to my pressure. I am only afraid that foreigners would like it, but the Chinese region wouldn't be accustomed to it! Ha ha! However pressure is often an energy source to push myself, so be happy and go with the flow!"
