Fusee Films entered documentary territory in a major way at the Cannes Film Market, unveiling co-production commitments to three non-fiction projects spanning Vietnam, the Philippines, Canada, Belgium, and France.

Leading the slate is “The Last Note,” which has already secured international sales representation through Quebec-based HG Distribution ahead of its release.

The Canadian film is directed by Patrick de Belen and follows a Filipino-Canadian poet piecing together the life of his younger brother, who died, through journals, songs, and memory fragments. The film confronts grief, mental illness, and the silence that surrounds these subjects in Filipino diaspora communities. The film is produced by Still Here Productions and Fusee.
