Nervous Energy
Executive-produced by Spike Lee, Chinese-Australian filmmaker Eve Liu’s electrifying short catches the livewire chaos of two young filmmakers out to make it in the big city.
Torn between making beautiful films and dating beautiful men, twentysomething besties Jay (Lucie Zhang) and Kiki (Sonia Yuan, Drive My Car, MIFF 2021) make the bold decision to break up with their boyfriends and devote themselves to their art. Fresh, funny and crammed with what feels like an entire twenties’ worth of existential angst, this manic slice of Manhattan friendship heralds an exciting new filmmaking talent.
