THE INTERSECTING LINES nominated for best Script at iChill Manila Int Film Fest!


Congratulations THE INTERSECTING LINES for being nominated for best Script at iChill Manila Int Film Fest!

From the point of being in the digital society, the foundation of oneself as a kind of existence is crumbling. The Internet tears and breaks up us, finally sending us to the multiple space with changeable identities. In many times, we have no ego, but only to live elsewhere as the character of “others”. Seven years ago, when I wrote this script, I wanted to put these abstract ideas into a daily scene to explore (such as a café or a bakery), with a lost of disappointment and an attempt of answering questions. Now it is finally made into images. But what I feel more is the speed of time passing by. We are still wandering in the middle of the world. We are intertwined between the reality, fiction and fantasy with circling forever. Who am I? Who could I be? These questions are tiresome, but we can’t help but try to explore again and again. Maybe there is no answer and no end. However, we can still comfort ourselves: the plight is being locked here, but hope is not far away.
