Mila's zone

I believe that people who typically like my movies are those who are very fond of nightclub culture and subcultures. Vibrant scenes and crowds brimming with hormones are the best catalysts for my films. Especially those who love raves, they really enjoy my movies because there is already a very strong sense of identity in them. Therefore, the reviews tend to be quite polarized: those who like it really love it, and those who don't like it, don't. Ravers immediately recognize, 'Oh, this is about our own culture,' when they see my films. However, people who aren't into nightclub culture might not be very interested in my movies. But my ultimate goal is to achieve a good balance, so that everyone can find such works with strong cultural identity interesting and appreciate them.

Title:  When I Look At You Type of film: Experimental Documentary Name: Zhaomei Xiong (Mila) In my experimental documentary   When I Look At You , I aim to offer the audience a deeply personal and introspective exploration of the intimacy within my friendship with Qiao Gui. She is currently studying in Sarah Lawrence College as a Dance and Visual Art Major. Through a series of reflective views, I intend to provide viewers with a unique perspective, allowing them to see my friend through my eyes. I filmed all the footages over the summer in China, fall in 2022 and the beginning of 2023 in New York. Each scene is carefully crafted to convey the nuances of our relationship, highlighting the moments of connection, understanding, and shared experiences that define our bond. Initially envisioned as a documentary on nightlife in China featuring Qiao, the project evolved as I delved deeper into our friendship. The more I filmed, the more I reflected on our connection—how I came to be so close
