Director Statement

The motivation for making this short film came from a group meeting during the graduation project. With limited funds, we thought of many plans, and finally I suddenly had an inspiration, that is, three creators with different styles use the form of idioms solitaire to create in a limited space, aiming at an interesting and experimental exploration of the film creation method.
