Private Project

Mosaic

A man came to a relatively confidential unit in the suburbs to handle affairs. Before entering the building, the security guard asked him to sign a "Non-disclosure Agreement" during the security check, promising that "everything you saw, heard, smelled, and felt in the building will not be shared." The male protagonist entered the building and felt that it was both ridiculous and a little weird. In broad daylight, the staff here had mosaics on their faces in order to keep them secret. As the handling of affairs progressed, the man gradually discovered that the weird things didn't stop there...

Director Statement

This is a metaphorical short film, which metaphorically cannot achieve complete communication between people anyway. Communication barriers have always been a common dilemma for all mankind.
Movies are my greatest passion in this life. I have seen at least 10,000 movies so far, including classic business cards, popular bad movies, and random selections. Every film must be written in "Movie Notes", and I have been insisting on it for more than 20 years, and I have always hoped to make new attempts on the theme, content, format and even the screening method of the film. The idea of this film comes from a gathering ten years ago, a sudden inspiration. The plain and simple images contain a certain kind of foreboding. The weirdness gradually emerges in the daily greetings, but the thrill in broad daylight is thought-provoking... If the audience cannot understand the film once, it just confirms the theme of the film! This is not sophistry, it is breaking the boundaries between film and performance art.
