Come another day
Screenplay - Short Film
Directed by Molin Liu.
COME ANOTHER DAY is a 10-minute single-take short film following Wendy, an illegal immigrant in New York City, as she attempts to pay off her husband's smuggling debt through sex work. The uninterrupted take creates a feeling where past and present blur, demonstrating how trauma and sacrifice can make moments feel eternal - the brief journey of her hopes, fears, and crushing compromises. The camera's relentless following captures both her physical path and emotional transformation, showing how desperation can distort time. This technical choice by Molin amplifies the psychological toll of survival, creating an intimate portrait of sacrifice that feels both immediate and infinite.
Shiyuan also worked as an assistant director for this project.
