“Wobbly U.S.-China relations could be repaired thanks to BRIGHTHEART. From Chinese director Weifeng Deng (Lighting Dindin, You Don’t Mess With Little Bugs) and U.S. screenwriter Mark Byers (Watch the Skies, Criminal Act, Dragon Twins), the animated family film – produced by Chinese animation house DeZerlin – follows a firefly whose celebrity status is challenged by a robot; the two fight for survival. TriCoast is distributing in the U.S. and selling internationally,” learned The Hollywood Reporter exclusively.
BRIGHTHEART is a charming coming-of-age animation, heartwarming for families of all kinds. Told through vivid colors and doses of magical delight, BRIGHTHEART follows a firefly, Brightheart, who is the hero of her village. But when a robot, Aurora, challenges Brightheart’s celebrity status, the two go head-to-head in fight for survival. Highlighting the importance of friends, family and teamwork, will Brighheart learn to get along with this stranger or will they become bitter enemies?
Produced by DeZerlin, BRIGHTHEART will make its USA debut in Los Angeles during May 2020.
