A phone call from a stranger; abandoned household items; an old newspaper cutting that reveals an unfulfilled wish – Ming tries to cope with life after her mother’s death but realizes that the past constantly echoes and that grieving knows no bounds.
Autobiographical and based on real life events, Linger touches on the theme of loss, grief and self-salvation. It depicts the process of grieving that a daughter and her father have to go through in the event of a sudden loss. As both characters grieve in their own ways, they are forced to face their regrets and eventually, each other.
The still looks great, looking forward to the film.
Great Thanks! i hope u have enjoyed watching my film!
Looks like a lot of people worked on this.
Yup, although it’s a short film, we did enlist as many help as we can, cos’ we shot HD with film lenses and just the camera & lighting department, we needed at least 4 crew members
It’s always great when you can not only be informed, but also entertained I’m certain you had fun writing this film.
hi sancho, thanks! it’s always tough writing your own story cos’ you might get “too close” to it. But anyway I hope you enjoyed my film!
