Stay Awake, Be Ready (2019)
On an ordinary night, at a roadside stall on a street corner in Vietnam, three men were talking about the fate of mankind. A booze lady was selling from table to table, and passing children were performing a fire-breathing show on the street. At the same time, there were terrible sounds of braking and collisions outside the picture, and a car accident occurred. The entire film has only one long shot. Events and characters move back and forth repeatedly inside and outside the camera, demonstrating the director's amazing scene scheduling ability. It is praised as the most amazing short film in Cannes Directors 'Fortnight this year. Shooting a full shot without any traces of axe chisels on a busy street without turning it into a documentary is difficult to manage both technical and dramatic tension.
