Overview
"Before Completion is a short film about a painter's creative process: Lydia is a young artist who just received her first offer to paint for a gallery opening exhibition. When struggling for the best inspiration, she had a dream about different eyes and woke up feeling the urge to draw them out. Used up her imagination, Lydia started to look for a perfect subject in real life. She met this beautiful woman in a park but missed her out of miscommunication eventually. Confronting her frustration and lost, Lydia realized what had been looking for, is always within her. Only when she makes peace with and see through herself, could she find her way to conquer challenges in life." -- Abstract
