creative writing / screenplay

three-sack man

Three-Sack Man explores the philosophy of “karma” through a fictional story built around a Vietnamese mystic creature. When characters are dealing with situations, I use the surroundings as an extension of their feelings. Working on a story that set in the 60s of Vietnam, running from the South to the North, I want to embed several cultural and ritual elements to provoke different emotional responses from the audiences.

process: idea, moodboard, draft

I was shortlisted for the CGV Talented Scriptwriter 2018 by The Three-Sack Man. An excerpt of the translated script is provided above. In order to conduct additional research on visual motifs and styles, I want to transform it into a graphic novel. I continue to think of this as a pilot project that I might develop in the future.
