In Sync

Eddie Shieh
United States, 2019, 5 min.

In English.
Includes adult language.

A young couple walk a fine line while thriving in an open marriage until they catch each other breaking their own rules.

Director's Statement

In Sync was created for the 2019 Asian American Film Lab 72 Hour Shootout under the theme, Balancing Act. As a frequent participant of speed festivals, I find them to be the best exercises for problem-solving under a ticking clock. As a father of twin toddlers, time and sleep is your most guarded gifts so the pressure was really on. Thankfully the cast and crew never missed a wink and that's a credit to the entire team. And we hope that our enjoyment and experience comes across In Sync.
