Ampersand
The tale of a young Chinese immigrant struggling to maintain a Long distance relationship with his wife, while he falls for his new co-worker. Meanwhile, his brother begins an affair with an affluent white woman.
AMPERSAND was shot in April of 2017 and is the third film to be produced for The Moonbeam Boogie. With a 39 minute runtime, it is one of the longest pieces within the film. It was made with an ultra low budget of $1200 and was filmed over the course of 12 days. This film also began our collaboration with the British Composer Jacob Read (Jercurb) as well as Carol and Nicholas Sommers, whom let us film in their historic prohibition speakeasy.
