DIRECTOR STATEMENT
"Banana Kills" is a horror short focusing on the internal battle between a man and his penis. It is the fifth version of "Banana," and the four-year process of making the short captures the most intimate struggle a man could've had. Everything began with a rotten banana and a bottle of fake blood on the bookcase in a college dormitory, Yiqing, where I decided to shoot a passion project based on the props left from my previous shorts, "An Appointment" and "Nightmares." The original was about a sex dream that went wrong. Then, it turned into a story concerning patriarchy. Not until I conquered fear did I dare to reveal my addiction to masturbation and my suffering from the guilt of filthy sex dreams. I knew the nightmares required an instant outlet. Therefore, "Banana Kills" came to the world.
