And now a textbook example of the what my favorite undergrad film prof called “the hook.” A good opening should launch us into the middle of the action, forcing us to ask “what is going on here?”while simultaneously taking in new information to answer the question. This short film by Ien ChiĀ starts with hooks and follows it all the way through to the end. But, given the setup, it kinda has to. Take a look and let me know what you think!
