Metempsychosis
An actress who continuously suffers from the same nightmare of a former homicide case tries to find out what could be behind it, only to discover that she may be the victim in real life.
Director’s Statement
Upon being asked by a friend to collaborate in a 48 Hour Film Project based on one of my stories, we achieved remarkably within 48 hours with only a budget of under 4K RMB (USD 630).
By squeezing a feature-length story into a 7 minutes short film, we are modestly honored to present the masterpiece produced with phenomenal DNA but was disqualified by mismatched genre.
Initially from the commercial world, I find myself in a brand new film world, where I certainly believe my learning path is still long ahead as I will enhance rapidly in the near future.
