A group of filmmakers disagree about how to help a friend make his film. The discussion ends with a phone call—not a finished solution.
A new two-minute edit from P4 Theater's Human Surrender discussions. Original Mandarin audio with English subtitles.
MAKE THE CALL FIRST / 先打这个电话
A practical question emerges from the argument: how do you listen to the person you hope to work with? This edited archival scene preserves the disagreement and the beginning of the call. It does not show what happened afterward. Jumps backward and forward within the same discussion are labelled.
00:00 A film, a friend, a disagreement
00:21 Earlier: what does helping mean?
01:17 Later: make the call
