The Soi Cheang Pou Soi produced, Isabella Lam Lok Hin directed and written, Lokman Yeung, Hedwig Tam Sin Yin and Maggie Siu Mei Kei starred film DEAD END (BEI SAT DIK NA TIN) was selected for the 31st Busan International Film Festival's "Vision-Asia" competition section and would premiere at the film festival. DEAD END began with a case of family death that has been buried for years. Lokman Yeung suspected "mother" Siu Kei Kei had something to do with his father's fall to his death and started to investigate. He and Tam Sin Yin played couple, and PAPA's Best New Performer award winner Dylan So Man To played his half brother.

Lokman Yeung for the first time had film that was selected for a film festival competition, saying that his past films participated in film festival. "This time feels a little different, I look forward to it more. DEAD END is about letting go of the past, hopefully it would bring the audience to a different direction when faced with similar incidents. This time the role's past has affected him a lot, many deeply internal struggles had to rely on environment or interaction between co-stars to bring about. For me it is a challenge." Siu Mei Kei and Lokman Yeung played mother and son, revealing that the character was complicated. At first she found it hard to grasp, fortunately the producer and the director gave her the confidence and interacted as they shot. The production process was pleasant. Director Lam Lok Hin hoped that through the process of the character's search for truth, the audience would be taken to face those hidden or suppressed memories, examine how people find a way to co-exist with uncertainty and find a path forward.
