When the Eyes Are Closed (2018)

The director's film practice aims to explore Chinese horror film. This film is inspired by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Yang-chi, the motive power for metabolism and physiological functions of the human body. When people are physically or mentally fatigued, yang-chi in the human body will drop, and at such times people will be more easily influenced by evil spirits. In this short film, the director chooses not to use traditional horror film techniques like building suspense or giving jump scares, but to experiment an imprinting effect to the audiences, which is the idea that "every time you close your eyes, you wash face, take a shower and so on, something maybe next to you, but you will never know. Because when the eyes are open it will be invisible." Aiming to create lingering fear even after cinema.
