Private Project

Borrowed Place Borrowed Time

In the midst of overcrowded Hong Kong, a photo booth becomes the unexpected shelter where people discover love or realisation. Seven stories intertwine, one for each day of the Creation, as we follow the lives of the protagonists throughout different phases of their lives. The whole world of Hong Kong is encompassed within that photo booth.

Director Statement

Hi, I'm an Italian creative director who's been living in China (Beijing, Shanghai, now Hong-Kong) since 2007. I recently decided to make a career move and sign up for film school, pursuing a dream I had since I was a kid. Let's see where the journey takes me.
