Prayers to the Gods of Guerrilla Filmmaking

2019 NR 2h 1m 8.4

A crew of filmmakers shoot undercover on the streets of Hong Kong with hidden microphones and no permits. The city becomes a giant set as mounting tension and ego clashes push tempers to breaking point.

Six strangers meet in Hong Kong for a three week no-budget film shoot, full of enthusiasm for the project. But as time wears on cracks begin to show as tight schedules, cramped conditions, location problems, personality clashes and the stress of shooting on the fly combine to put strain on the entire cast and crew. And it doesn't help that nobody's getting paid. As time passes they struggle to remember why they signed up in the first place, leading to reflections on the value of being a 'starving artist' and the limits of artistic integrity - and explosive confrontations that jeopardize the whole project.
