Director’s Statement: As a reflection on the communication-method/love/emotional status of modern people, “Buffering…” provides an opportunity for the audience to rethink their relationship with technology. “Buffering…” is a love story between Alex and Ricky. Alex finds a stone that talks to him verbally. The stone is a metaphor for hi-tech communication, connected to another world-the cube where Ricky lives. Ricky’s body and space are pixilated beyond his control. He can only sleep on public transportation with a big pillow, and the ring of Alexís mobile phone always awakens him. Alex and Ricky come from two completely different worlds. They are connected through the stone, in the same way that people connect randomly on the Internet. “Buffering…” is about the inability of Alex and Ricky being able to touch each other, and the journey of each of them searching for each otherís presence.
