Director Ben Griffin and actor Lewis Tan are here to talk about their new scifi short film “Ji”, which you can watch free on Dust on July 30.

Ben talks about the inspiration for the story he wanted to tell, the writing and production of “Ji”, his hopes of turning the story into a series, and more.

Lewis talks about how scifi romance is the type of story that has a special interest for him, about working on a film that focuses as much on the characters’ emotional journey as it does on the special effects, and of course the fight choreography, and keeping up with training during pandemic closures, and more. Oh yeah, Mortal Kombat. So ready for that one!
