Susu

Two Chinese girls take a film transcription job at a heritage English countryside mansion. Discovering entangled family secrets about Kunqu opera star Susu, they find it almost impossible to escape, physically and emotionally. Susu is the feature directorial debut of Yixi Sun, is a reminder of just how far atmosphere, mystery, and style can carry a movie.
The film has its feet planted firmly in the tropes of Gothic melodrama – a mysterious old house, a troubled and delicate young heroine, a disturbing family secret to be unearthed…
I supplied fx editing and parts of the sound design for this feature film, which was the winner of the Jury Prize at the Cardiff International Film Festival in 2018.
