OUT OF GAS (2019)

Short Film     Drama

After a long day’s work in Hong Kong, a truck driver and a banker have a magical meeting when one runs out of gas. 

The goal

Inspired by the work of British Social Realism such as THIS IS ENGLAND, I wanted to explore race and class dynamics in Hong Kong. 

the process

The script was shaped around the two leading actors in the film—who genuinely worked as a banker and truck driver. 

We shot in Hong Kong on location in office and warehouse spaces.

the result

The film was a Semi-Finalist at the Los Angeles Film Awards 2019. 

It screened at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific FIlm Archive in 2023.
