The Hummingbird Project
Director: Kim Nguyen (“War Witch,” “Two Lovers and a Bear”)
Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Alexander Skarsgard, Salma Hayek, Michael Mando, Ayisha Issa
Details: Canadian filmmaker and “War Witch” director Kim Nguyen returns, just months after his previous film “Eye on Juliet” premiered in Toronto, with this high stakes drama set in the world of high-frequency trading. The film made headlines last year due to star Alexander Skarsgard shaving his head in a way he looks like he’s suffering from severe male pattern baldness.

Despite their physical differences, Skarsgard and Jesse Eisenberg play cousins who dream of building a fiber-optic cable straight between Kansas and New Jersey – an idea that could well make them millions. It would also allow them to get revenge on their old boss (Hayek) whom they find themselves competing against.

Scoring fairly good reviews after premiering in Toronto, this comedy/drama follows two cousins (Alexander Skarsgard, Jesse Eisenberg) from New York who are serious players in the high-stakes game of High-Frequency Trading. The pair set out to build a fibre-optic cable straight line between Kansas and New Jersey and potentially make them millions. Festival reviews were pretty solid.
