place
NCKUSection 1 (Cho) — Experience coursework that treated film craft as seriously as the research lab next door.
The premise
When the city shrinks, the cut still has to hold two people.
The film treats pandemic pressure as weather around a relationship — futuristic edges, intimate centre. Storyboards lock the beats; the FULL HD export is the public master for HAAM Film.
It sits in the Tainan film chapter next to dance work: same city, different grammar.

- Production photos next to storyboard frames
- HAAM Film lists it as part of the Tainan chapter
