Jasmine, the dark psychological thriller by director Dax Phelan took the Grand Jury Prize for Narrative Film at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival. The film also won Special Jury Prizes for Best Sound Design (Lisa K Fowle), Best Cinematography (Guy Livneh), Best Editing (Chris Chan Lee) & Best Actor in a Drama (Jason Tobin).

Written and produced by Dax Phelan, Jasmine is Dax’s directorial debut. Shie scored the film (the soundtrack is available on iTunes, amazon.com & all major online retailers).

Jasmine tells the story of a once-successful Hong Kong businessman, Leonard To (Jason Tobin), who is still reeling from the tragedy of his wife’s murder the year before. Having lost his job, friends and all sense of order in hi life, Leonard becomes obsessed with a mysterious stranger he sees at his wife’s grave (Byron Mann), believing him to be responsible for her death. Phelan’s direction shies away from the tourist’s-eye-view of Hong Kong, capturing instead the atmosphere of isolation that lurks within the bustle and crowds.

Jasmine had its US premiere at the Dallas International Film Festival. The premiere was followed by a Q&A session with the filmmakers as well as stars Jason Tobin & Byron Mann. The film has been warmly received and due to popular demand a sold-out second screening has been moved to a larger theater to accommodate a larger audience.
