To whom it may concern - Short Film
To whom it may concern can be likened to a note that records fragments of life and is thrown into the river of time. It travels toward the future, waiting for someone to pick it up and read it to connect other chapters of the story.
Peculiar Man observed the daily lives of Les Petites Choses Production members from the perspective of a creator. This collaborative process, which took place both in-person and online, enabled Peculiar Man to compose each person's passions, frustrations and idiosyncrasies into portraits and respond to the surroundings via body movement. Through the reinterpretation of Good Things Happening Films Studio and director Wu Hsiao Lu, a poetic and detached approach is adopted to portray intimate moments that are either absurd and noisy or lonely and quiet.
