Class project for Chinese Silent Cinema, Spring Term 2023
As part of my audit for the 4th-year Chinese Film Studies Chinese Silent Cinema course, I wrote, directed, and produced a short film in a team of 5 students for our class awards, “The Golden Chopsticks”.
The prompt for the film assignment was to create a 15 - 20 minute film which mirrored the costuming, plot lines, political ideologies, aesthetics, and sound & film techniques of 1920’s Shanghai cinema.
In this team, I was Director, Script Writer, Head of Story Board, Intertitle Designer, Casting Director, Graphic Designer, and Video Editor. Tears of Jade was the winner of the 2023 Golden Chopsticks Award.
