Director’s Notes
I’ve been working on the script of Mobius in an endless cycle. What I am curious about is the chemistry that might happen if putting möbius' principle into the image of relationships within a Chinese immigrant family —— in the eternal cycle of the ambivalent sentiments, the deep connection formed transcends different levels of education, values, and perspectives on life between the two generations.
