short film: ghost soldier by the tsao bros.



Check out this short film, Ghost Soldier, written and directed by Allan Tsao, and starring his brother Perry Tsao -- the Tsao Bros. It's a 15-minute drama about the war in Iraq, produced in 2006:
From an underground Iraqi prison, an Asian-American soldier fights despair by holding on to a promise to his childhood girlfriend, digging deeper and deeper into his memories to find the courage and the strength to save his life and that of another American soldier, Misha.
I caught this a few years back in the film festival circuit, and remember really admiring its cinematography and production values. It's a tad melodramatic, but it definitely held my interest. Learn more about it here.
