Royksopp "Running To The Sea" (Shiouwen Hong, dir.)

Genero Presents: Röyksopp - Running To The Sea (by Shiouwen Hong)

The idea of of the two people standoff in a dark ring has been lurking in my head for a while. As I came across the contest and listened to the track, the idea came back to me as the mood really echoed the visual I had in mind. This piece reflects a person's search for identity. Through two characters, who initially fight and oppose each other, yet in the end they find that they are one in the same. 

Although the pre-production process is quite a stretch due to the budget. Luckily, I was able to pull favors that helped relieve the budget and had the chance to work with a super talented crew that shared the vision.
