Shift
A personal project that I wrote, directed, produced and shot. Monsters and Critics calls it "a hot film film worthy of being nominated for an Academy Award" with "excellent cinematography." Film Threat claims "Yi has captured what it is to be part of the late shifts of the country" and called it "Fantastic!"
The script was the recipient of the Digital Filmmaker's Grant from Panasonic, Apple Computers and Abel Cine Tech, and was one of the very first digital projects I did of this scope.
