Apple continues its tradition of releasing shot-on-iPhone films celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year, and for this latest production, the company has tapped director Zhang Meng for a heartwarming story “The Comeback”, well worthy of movie theaters.
Weighing in at 23 minutes and released in 1080p resolution, the movie is available for free on YouTube, and mixes different styles from sci-fi elements, kung-fu action, and comedy, all set in a far-away Chinese village and ending on a nostalgic note.
This current film was produced in association with an Apple ad agency in Shanghai.
This is actually the company’s fifth time producing a film celebrating the Chinese New Year.
Last year, Apple produced the film ‘Nian’, shot by director Lulu Wang, and you can watch that movie right below too.
