Description of the Project:
We created "Lifeline", a 30-minute product demo disguised as a psychological thriller.
Kai, a young Chinese man who is the heir to a pharmaceutical fortune, wakes up in Shanghai one morning to discover that his true love, and American woman named Emma, has vanished without a trace. Confused and distraught Kai fears she has left him until he receives a mysterious package containing Emma's phone.
Over the subsequent 30 minutes, Kai must use Emma's phone (and many of its differentiated features) to figure out what has happened to Emma, who she really is and get to the bottom of her disappearance. Along the way he is forced to question his beliefs, his family and his love for Emma.
The film was produced by the Academy Award winning producer of Spotlight and The Revenant. The film was launched on iQiyi in China and on YouTube, Facebook and Hulu in the US using the massive reach of the films star talent.
To date, the full film of Lifeline has been viewed more than 20MM times and total views of Lifeline content including the accompanying documentary exceed 100MM.
