An allegorical mystery revolving around identity, freedom and violence, Straw Dog depicts the struggle of individuality in the digital era through a Taoist fantasy that is as old as time. It invites viewers to reflect on the existence in the online space as well as the death and mortality in a contemporary context.
This is an experimental short film using a combination of CGI technology and live-action. It is a collaboration between students from many different universities, with me working mainly as a VFX director.
