Waiting Alone (Chinese: 独自等待; pinyin: Dúzì Děngdài) is a romantic comedy film written & directed by Chinese-American filmmaker Dayyan Eng (Chinese: 伍仕贤; pinyin: Wǔ Shìxían), depicting the lives of a group of hip, affluent, twenty-something Beijing residents. The film features Chinese movie stars Xia Yu, Gong Beibi and Li Bingbing. It also features cameos of some of China's best known actors, including Chow Yun-Fat. Excellent reviews and strong word-of-mouth made this independent film a big hit in China where it was embraced by young audiences. In 2005, Waiting Alone was nominated for three Chinese Academy Awards (Golden Rooster Awards) including Best Picture; the first time a nomination was awarded to a foreign director in this category. Waiting Alone was acquired for international distribution in 2006 by Arclight Films.
