British filmmaker Coz Greenop is presenting his latest indie feature, The Last Mermaid, to international buyers at this year’s Cannes market. The film wrapped principal photography in Vietnam earlier this season and stars Jessica Truong (The Sympathizer) and Jack McEvoy (Vikings). Greenop, whose previous work The Last Heist earned him Best Director at the Marbella International Film Festival, has teamed with Mont Fort Films and his own Green 13 Films to bring the project to life.
Greenop wrote and directed the script, which follows Aron (McEvoy), a grieving writer journeying across Vietnam’s coast and highlands. He encounters a mysterious woman (Truong) who guards an ancient, otherworldly secret. Producers Christina de la Sala (Tomorrow) and Donny Chen (Cookster: The Darkest Days) joined Greenop on the producing team, securing “substantial” cooperation from the Vietnamese Film Commission for locations, local crews and logistical support.
