Short film by Gwai Lou - Malaysia/Spain 2019

SYNOPSIS

Orked and Ani, best friends since they started school, don´t meet so often since Orked´s family have moved and she now studies in another school. Nevertheless, they still remain best friends, so when Ani receives a strange proposition through a dating app she has just registered with, Orked is the first person Ani talks to.
This is a story about the dangers of being a teenager girl in these strange internet-bombarded days in which lives are connected in all sort of different ways.

BIOGRAPHY DIRECTOR

Gwai Lou (Spain, 1982)

Gwai Lou (鬼佬) means “Foreign devil”, it is a common Cantonese slang for Westerners. People used to call me this as a joke when I first arrived in the country. Now it is how I call myself.

Gwai Lou, of course, is not my real name. But is who I became once I left everything I knew behind and landed in the other side of the world after many years travelling. Gwai Lou is a Je est an autre as Rimbaud said.

Currently I earn my living as a director of photography, but I have had many other less buoyant jobs. I come from a humble family, so I could never pay the fees of a film school, however thanks to the public education of my country I could go to university.

When I was 12 years old I bought a video camera by instalments (with my parents' permission) and I started to teach myself how to make movies. As I had no idea, it cost me to learn from myself. When I was 15, I finished paying for that camera. By then it was obsolete. The camera is a good metaphor of who I am. To date I have bought 4 cameras.

The girls are alright is my first short film. It will be a part of a series dedicated to the role of women in South East Asia that currently I am developing with my and wife (and creative partner) Annabel Tiu.
