Afterlife

"Afterlife" is a sci-fi short film produced and directed by Sydney based Singaporean Perry Lam. It is part of Storeys, a series of original short films about Singapore, supported by Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and supervised by a talent company, CreativesAtWork.

The protagonist is played by Kris Mavericko. I played a supporting role of Eric, the repairman. Ok, no more spoilers, let us watch the film now:

Many of us probably have someone departed that we love and miss very much. Therefore,  it is plausible that in the future, we might use holograms to remind us of them. This will take off when  prices for the device become affordable to most people, like the smart phone. Even better, may be holographic projection capabilities will be built into future generations of mobile phone models.

Here are some behind-the-scenes photos:

This scene was cut. I was repairing a device wearing a magnifying glass with a spot light. 

The Chinese Folk Religion Altar was Kris' suggestion, and so it was added.
