Rainy Dog
Synopsis
Everything was not planned. We started the day, in a basement in Queens, New York, watching a Japanese cult film, Rainy Dog, which was shot in my hometown, Taipei, Taiwan. Hand-processed and solarized the film to hide the anxiety of unsureness. This film is a part of the Camera Rolls series by Erica Sheu.
