Statement

It was a beautiful evening in Sydney, I had a meaningful conversation with a friend over some soju (Korean wine) and they told me an interesting story about a patient who was ill directly asking for sex from females he encountered prior to his death.

At the time it was such an amusing story however it was quite sad to me. The patient’s weird behavior is understandable because it is his right to have desires before he leaves this world.

A week passed by, I was sitting in my studio with a glass of wine enjoying the sunshine protruding through the ceiling to floor windows when I started to think about that patient and wondered what others would do in a similar situation?

I began to write my thoughts that afternoon, I had just completed the last sentence of the story before realizing the sun had set and day became night with a full moon and stars twinkling.

I added a female character into the patient’s life. She is an angel however she was going through personal pain in her life.

His body was dying and her soul was dying, they rescued each other.

My PA Yan told me that she felt this story will have a lot of meaning to women who are suffering or have suffered from domestic violence. It isn’t a disease but many women will and are suffering from domestic violence resulting in anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder with worse cases of being killed or self-harm.

People struggle, and they survive. Life is about that, but not all of it.

Making this short film is kind of a ceremony for me to say a short goodbye to my producing life in Australia. I had so many years to live as a business woman but I have never given up my dream.
I recall the day I left Australia it was so sad but the autumn sunshine was warm and gentle, with the leaves falling, it was such a beautiful memory.
I had gone to another country which is strange and familiar to me

The production was very low-budget. Took only 4 days to complete the shooting and on the 5th day I flew out.
I appreciate this great memory I shared with so many wonderful people who helped with the entire production and filming. It had been a such a long time that I hadn’t done anything I created as the director. I love this kind of feeling.

After showing the story to a director friend, he loved the story so much that he highly encouraged me to turn the story into a feature film. I knew as a producer I have this ability, but as a creator, I just wanted to make this little story happen.

Some stories are just meant to happen at a specific time.
