Logline 故事摘要
Feeling abandoned by his three college friends as they go their separate ways, Tony attempts to get a glimpse into their lives through a documentary that spans five, following them into their thirties.
四位大學朋友畢業後各散東西，感到被拋棄的Tony，決定以拍攝之名，窺探他們的生活，開展長達五年的紀錄，直到彼此三十而立。
Synopsis 故事大綱
Kingston, Ming, Ching and Tony met in college and bonded over their love for filmmaking, seeing each other as friends for life.
Upon graduation, however, their friendship took unexpected turns. Ching moved to Taiwan, Kingston headed to England, and despite Ming’s decision to stay, his passion for film dissipated, along with his presence in the other’s life. The four of them drifted apart, leaving behind a void, with an empty studio.
Tony felt betrayed and abandoned by his friends’ indifference. He decided to find answers through a lens and get a glimpse into their life. This documentary might merely be his desperate attempt to cling to his friendship with others. But as his advances were met with cold shoulders, Tony couldn’t help but wonder whether his love for their friendship was misplaced.
Five years of documentation not only entails the ebb and flow of the four’s relationship, but also depicts kaleidoscopic Hong Kong, in its ever-changing light.
Kingston、 Ming仔、Ching與Tony相識於大學時期，曾是一起做影像創作的難兄難弟，更認定彼此會是一生的伙伴。
豈料畢業過後，親密的關係竟出現暗湧。Ching在台灣；Kingston在英國；Ming仔選擇留港，卻偏偏對拍攝失去熱誠，甚至不時失去聯絡。曾一同合伙的工作室人去樓空，四人各散東西。
面對著摯友的冷漠，Tony感到被拋棄和背叛，決定透過影像尋找答案，執意窺探他們的生活。這可能是他唯一去感受與他們依然同在的方法，但友人們的各種推塘，卻令Tony重新審視自身對朋友的錯愛。
跨度五年的紀錄，直到彼此三十而立，刻畫著四人友情的變遷、成長，亦在側寫城市變化的風景。
Director’s Statement 導演闡述
This is a story about the present state of relationship between myself and three college friends. Looking back on our college days of creating films together, I regret that we never turned the camera inwards and captured our youthful and passionate selves. It isn’t until we drift apart, that I try to grasp onto our connection through film and visuals, the very thing that bonded us.
This project came into existence before Kinston departed to England for his working holiday. His indifference to our separation was a stark contrast to my reluctance. This angered me deeply, but also inspired me to pick up the camera, trying my best to think through our relationship while filling a void.
This documentary not only records their lives but also my own. Do I truly value our friendship or was this a means to my own end?
這是我和三位大學朋友當下狀態的故事。回想與Kingston、 Ming仔、Ching共同創作的大學時間，我們從未把攝錄機面向我們自身，倒是挺後悔當初沒有好好紀錄大家當時的青澀和熱血。當大家愈走愈遠，才嘗試用影像紀錄來留住他們。
拍攝的起點緣於Kingston年初準備到英國進行工作假期。他對於與友人的離散顯得毫不在乎，十分冷淡，而我則處處流露著不捨之情，甚至對他拋下並肩作戰多年的兄弟 ，獨自離去而感到憤怒。我開始舉起攝錄機，希望可以藉此梳理彼此的關係，填補自己情感的缺失。
這個紀錄片記錄的不單止是他們三位，同時也是好好記錄自己。到底我真的如自己所想般如此重視友誼，或其實只是在放大自己的自私？
