海中云

剧情短片丨纽约, 2024

2022年，新冠疫情尚未结束，面对至亲去世却无法回国的困境，身处纽约的梅在日常与疏离间，重拾过往并整理心情。

人到中年，清明将至，各种情绪暗暗翻涌。这一天，她在街头与一名熟悉的陌生人相遇……

导演阐述

写下这个故事时，我刚回到纽约，疫情尚未终止。街头所见所感，与彼时国内种种，遥相呼应。当未知与离散成为常态，当生活回归个人为单位，眼前的日常与远方的思念都变得愈发真切。在分别过后，孑然一身的人们应该何去何从？在时代的洪流中，失语和失落的个体怎样重新出发？谨以此片纪念过去三年间和更广阔时空里一些真实的人生境况与普遍的生命体验。

Overnight Water

Narrative Short丨New York, 2024

Unable to travel home across closed borders after her mother’s sudden and isolated death in China, a middle-aged immigrant named Mei grasps for consolation and connection while living alone in COVID-era New York—until one afternoon, she encounters a familiar stranger on the streets nearby.

Two forms of modern homelessness collide.

Director Statement

The idea of this film was conceived when I returned to New York during the pandemic, as a combination of what I witnessed in the streets and what was happening back in China. I want to hold a lens up close to the individuals who lost their voice or momentum in this era, who would’ve otherwise gone unseen in society, and to capture their real life experiences and everyday dilemmas. I hope this project could land as a story of love and resilience that kept us together in the period of uncertainty and separation.
