Three up-and-coming local directors take on issues of love, hunger and food in a trio of short takes that range over the gamut of emotions. Vignettes that observe mother/daughter conflicts, betrayal and revenge, and puppy love in a Taipei fast food take-away take place over different continents and differing opinions and perspectives.

I wrote music for Danny Lee’s segment, which stars Karin Anna Cheung (Better Luck Tomorrow).
