Shot over the course of three days, designer and filmmaker Benjamin Wong tells the story of an old samurai, who is nearing the end of his life but still has passion for battle. The short film is a cinematic adventure that incorporates themes of love, honour, and loss without a single word being spoken. With an original score from composer Christopher Guanlao, emotion is felt throughout the entirety of the film. Wong utilizes a 1000 frame-per-second camera, a rain machine, and some incredible locations to create this intriguing story.
