The Hummingbird Project

'The Hummingbird Project' takes the thriller genre and puts it the competitive and cut-throat world of finance. Two ambitious cousins, Vincent (Jesse Eisenberg, 'The Social Network') and Anton Zaleski (Alexander Skarsgård, 'Big Little Lies') work in trading and know the importance of lightning-fast access to information. Seeing the demand for this, Vincent debates filling it by building a fibre optic cable from New Jersey to Kansas, an operation that, should it succeed, will make him rich. Vincent convinces Anton to leave his job under the ruthless power broker Eva Torres (Salma Hayek, 'Frida') to work with him on the project. Along with drilling expert Mark (Michael Mando, 'Better Call Saul'), the men band together in their determination to take the finance world by storm, and to get rich doing it. But Eva won't go down without a fight, and is behind the group every step of the way, threatening to take Anton's essential code smarts away from them by deeming his work her intellectual property. The race for faster broadband is on.

'The Hummingbird Project' is written and directed by Kim Nguyen ('Eye on Juliet'). Joining the cast are Johan Heldenbergh ('The Brand New Testament'), Ayisha Issa ('Dark Matter'), Sarah Goldberg ('Barry') and Frank Schorpion ('Arrival').
