Abramorama Acquires Mystery Drama “Looking For A Lady With Fangs And A Moustache”
Abramorama announced today the acquisition of world rights for a new film by Khyentse Norbu (“The Cup, Travellers And Magicians,” “Vara A Blessing”), “Looking For A Lady With Fangs And A Moustache.” This Nepali production, executive produced by Olivia Harrison, produced by Max Dipesh Khatri, and with cinematography by Mark Lee Ping-bing (“In the Mood for Love”), tells the story of Tenzin, a modern Tibetan entrepreneur, utterly skeptical of ancient, mystical beliefs, who is suddenly haunted by frightening dreams and hallucinations. A sage tells him those are omens for his imminent death. Filmed in a mesmerizing and magical Kathmandu, Tenzin will have seven days to save his life: a most unconventional, sacred journey into feminine energy. The film, which had its global premiere at the 17th Morelia International Film Festival (FICM), was also an official selection of the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival.

“I hope this film will transport audiences to a profound, mystical, and yet very real and accessible dimension of life with which our modern world is sadly and rapidly losing touch” stated Director, Khyentse Norbu.
Olivia Harrison (Executive Producer) stated, “Looking for a Lady with Fangs and A Moustache” intrigues and moves me greatly. It is a pleasure to be a part of Khyentse Norbu’s fifth feature film.”
Abramorama’s Richard Abramowitz (CEO) added, “We feel privileged to help bring this extraordinary film to people all around the world. Its beauty and wisdom are more essential now than ever.”
