Director’s Statement
Yang (sheep) does not exist in the past time, just like dog, pig, cow, and so on. In this film, I just want to pose a question that “what’s Yang?” actually, Yang is a kind of product for human being. However, it is a creature with spirit. Should we see ourselves from Yang’s life? The title of Yang is fit in with Yang is Chinese Taoism, for the original thought of this film coming from Taoism.
I try to explore whether every Yang has its own character, thought, emotion, and spirit.
I try to use black and white color to let me and audience concentrate on other film elements.
