Fortissimo Films has picked up international sales rights to White Frog, the new film from The People I've Slept With 姣妹日記 (2009) director Quentin LEE 李孟熙.

The story follows a kindly Asian-American teenager with mild Asperger's disease, who loses his role model older brother in a car crash. In order to stay connected he digs into his dead brother's life and uncovers secrets that threaten to tear his family apart.

Lee has assembled a starry Asian-American cast including Booboo STEWART, Kelly HU, Joan CHEN 陳沖, B.D. WONG, Margaret CHO and Glee star Harry Shum Jr.

White Frog is produced by Ellie WEN of California–based Wentertainment Productions, alongside Joel SOISSON of Neo Art & Logic and Chris LEE 李公明 of Chris Lee Productions. Kevin Iwashina's Preferred Content is handling North American rights.

The film is currently in post-production and will be delivered for a 2012 launch.

 
In another pre-Toronto International Film Festival move, Fortissimo has sold North American rights on the pair of SHIMIZU Takashi 清水崇 3-D films it is handling to Well Go USA Inc. They are Tormented ラビット・ホラー３Ｄ (2011), fresh from the Venice International Film Festival, and horror The Shock Labyrinth 戦慄迷宮 (2009).
