Short Film: DIG PSA Wins Again
filmDIGfestivalworkshop
A thought-provoking short film that delves into the emotional impact of drug addiction in Chinese families, DIG was created in the first International Workshop of Zhejiang University, sponsored by Huace Film Company. Using techniques learned when making my Sundance short film Toy, the film's dramatic and visual structure were designed so the film could be executed within the limits of the production resources. This was the key focus of my workshop curriculum, a hands on indie crash course of how to make a film that would make it to the festival circuit. DIG did just that and went on to be the only film of the university to go on and win multiple awards.
