- Short films : The Last Chip and Mooncake & Crab
The Last Chip: Madam Fang, Mrs. Nguyen and Sister Ah Lan are three old friends who have little in common save for unfulfilled dreams. When they venture out for a lively night at the local mega casino, fortune deals them an unexpected hand.
Mooncake & Crab: On the day of the Mid Autumn Festival Chinese-born Crystal prepares a traditional meal of mooncake and crab for her new Anglo-Australian family. What no-one around her realizes is that Crystal has recently said goodbye to her lover, a Chinese artist, and she is pregnant with his child. As she prepares the meal with her visiting father, news comes that the plane her lover was traveling on has crashed. As Crystal tries to hide her feelings her step-daughter asks her to tell them the story behind the mooncake - a story that suddenly has great resonance with her own life.
