Information
Together with Apple, we have created the creative short film “The Crossroads”. The entire film was shot using an iPhone 14 Pro with no external equipment and no post-production.
This film is an adaptation of the classic martial arts play “The Crossroads” and focuses on Peking Opera’s performance and fighting. It presents the physical language of traditional Chinese opera through transitions between black and white spaces. The use of black and white contrast and split-screen techniques emphasizes the yin and yang, light and shadow, creating a cinematic texture and dramatic tension in the play of light and darkness.
