I was honored to be the City Producer for the 2017 Shanghai 48 Hour Film Project and to have had so many great teams and such high quality shorts as a result. It was the largest 48 hour in China yet and the awards were presented at a EU Film Festival event where the Best of the fest were entertainment for the EUFF VIPs .

Here is an amazing short documentary “Portrait of a Barber” by director Jeffrey Chu. I have had the luck of working with this great film maker on several occasions. The music in this film is by another Shanghai talent Uj He. It is about one of the last old-style barbershops in Shanghai. In true documentary style, Chu is preserving something that is worth sharing. This 80+ year old shop will be torn down soon and Chu decided to preserve its image. The barber himself was pretty sparse with commentary, but some of the things he said are powerful about the history that the shop represents. The images are beautifully shot and portray the texture and feel of the history and tradition of this shop. The music of UJ HE brings a delightful surprise to truly make this video pay off as Chu pushes the boundaries of the documentary genre with an experimental twist. It is truly delightful. Watch it on VIMEO and please give it a “heart” (vimeo’s form of like) and a comment! Thanks Jeffrey Chu for preserving a piece of our history. https://vimeo.com/99383268

Jude Jiang is a partner at www.obscure-productions.com and Producer of our short film “Analysis”. Here is her insight on why she produced this film with director Richard Trombly. --- “I was thinking about the target audience of ANALYSIS. The so-called mainstream movies present the conventional emotions like excitement, happiness, pleasure, tragedy and such. These emotions easily can be understood and well accepted by ordinary people. And the conventional theme these movies present is closely related with love, suspense, action, hero and such genres. But ANALYSIS doesn’t attempt to present or show that to people. Instead, it wants to explore something hard to be understood but necessary to be told. Because it seriously touches the topic of how human is naturally anti-social and also related to the social. It’s definitely not something light. I think what’s really special about ANALYSIS is that it did it through a teenager’s perspective. An Asperger syndrome person’s POV. Which is more intensely exploring this theme of being socialized or not. A lot of times, i have the awareness that when i get hurt, i want to hide in my little shell, but there will always appear an attractive reason for me to get out of the shell. And the circulation actually goes on. It never stops. Being socialized or not ? and how to be the self by not hurting the others? This is a question. ” – Jude Jiang --- http://obscure-productions.com/analyzing-analysis/
