Award-winning filmmaker Kenneth Lui's highly-anticipated crime comedy ARTISTS IN AGONY, will hit VOD platforms worldwide July 21 from Global Digital Releasing.

ARTISTS IN AGONY features recently discovered footage revealing how four famous hitmen died at the infamous Coda Teahouse Massacre. —Frosty (the new father), Lucien Mercy (the stay-at-home mom), Red Rick (the romantic), and his apprentice Lady Faith (the rising star).

Ex-CIA Agent Jonathan Sully guides us through the footage, suspecting they were killed by the renowned assassin artist known as Rockstar, considered the greatest hitman who ever lived.

Says writer-director Kenneth Lui, "I was cheering up a friend who was getting over a breakup and out of the blue he asked if I could create a project where he could, "Look cool shooting bad guys." When I pictured my friend shooting bad guys, the shot was handheld like in a documentary.

The results were hilarious. The idea of regular people talking casually about killing like it was an art was fascinating. I asked them if they'd commit to finishing arcs in a project where they'd play hitmen. They foolishly agreed. The interviews proved to me that shooting this subject matter in a documentary/cinéma-vérité style would work great in a satire.

The result is our first feature film, ARTISTS IN AGONY: Hitmen at the Coda Teahouse, an absurdly violent mockumentary that follows 4 foolish hitmen to their deaths and the hijinks of how it happened. It's a satirical crime exposé with its tongue firmly in its cheek."

Lui works as a professional editor for social media and commercials and as a visual effects artist on major motion pictures for Marvel and DC such as Captain America: Civil War, Batman V Superman, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
