Director Statement

As the director of the film, when I was writing the screenplay, I was looking for a short film that was smooth and engaging.
During the shooting, we encountered some troubles. For example, we had to temporarily change the film set, which made the story version planned according to the old site no longer suitable. I needed to temporarily plan a new shot on the spot.

But we're lucky we all got through it.
In the post work of the film, I finished the editing work with the editor. I came up with a lot of experimental ideas. After the editor tried to help me implement them, we thought some were good and some were not. I learned a lot from that.

In the epilogue, I almost raced against time to finish the sound effects and the ending song, but luckily, the team members saw it and thought it was not sloppy.
