what is our project?
We are raising money to help us shoot our short film for the final assignment of our fiction course.
This is a family story about a traditional Chinese single mother and her daughter, Jo, who is deeply influenced by British culture. Jo didn't have the opportunity to pursue her passion of painting due to her family's difficult economic situation, so she pawned the family's old ring to buy painting tools with the encouragement of her friend. She didn't realise that the ring was of great significance to her mother...

our story
The Loop is the first fiction film we are making in the UK. All four members of our team have extensive short film experience, and we believe that this short film production will also improve our skills and understanding of the UK film scene. We need your financial support to finish this short film!
From our director:
This film will focus on the journey of the ring, showing the different understanding and appreciation of art across two generations and two cultures. We will use changes in lighting, music and visuals to convey the changing relationship between the two protagonists and their fluctuating emotional states.
