TLDR
Shih-Ching Tsou continued to work with Sean Baker as his producer, so we’re interested to see what they have in store when they swap roles for their upcoming film Left-Handed Girl.
What it's about
The take
Before Tangerine and Anora, one of Sean Baker’s first films was Take Out, the only movie he co-directed with Shih-Ching Tsou. It’s pretty good. The film is an interesting glimpse in his filmography because it’s clear his sophomore film was where he found his niche, developing his social realist style through handheld cameras, observational shots, and a time-constrained plot that journeys through the city and witnesses moments usually left out of Hollywood films. While this film takes on a familiar story, Take Out nonetheless proved to be a promising start to a filmmaking collaboration that now became the face of American indie naturalism today.
