Pride / Kieu Hanh is positioned as a lower-budget premium period romance: a recognisable literary engine, a distinctive southern Vietnamese world beginning in My Tho in 1938, and a production target in the US$800,000-1,000,000 range.
The timing is compelling. Public 2025 reporting points to a breakout year for Vietnamese cinema: domestic films captured more than 60% of market share, local film revenue reached roughly 3.65 trillion VND, and the market produced record-level hits including Red Rain, The 4 Rascals, Detective Kien, Hijacked, and Tunnel: Sun in the Dark.
The opportunity is controlled production value: an intimate My Tho social world that expands selectively into Saigon and Vung Tau; cast-driven emotion; premium costume and production design; recognisable source DNA; and a clear platform pathway with Galaxy Play and Early Risers.

Public 2025 box office reporting shows local-language films gaining share, record domestic grosses, and stronger evidence that Vietnamese stories can become large-scale audience events.
