Synopsis

Stuffing the face with unimaginable expressions, tears streaming down the cheeks like a waterfall, hysterical cries as if coming from a neurotic…..

These “phenomena” are literally the “bad acting” that are overwhelming our movies today – loud, over the top, crude, vulgar, full of ridiculed cliches that suffocate the audience….the list goes on.

The illustrious Stage Opera Director and Lecturer, Olivia Yan Wing Pui, with years of distinct teaching expertise and experience, transforms her classroom into the theater. She documents her students comprising celebrated artists and newbies, award-winning actresses or laypersons, who, in Bad Acting, forthrightly share their struggles and pains, persistence and devotion, on their objective of becoming top notch artists in their acting careers.

The initial broadcast of this non-commercial documentary will be conducted in PREMIERE ELEMENTS. All donations will be granted to ACC ( Asian cultural council) to encourage youths in pursuit of the art of acting.

Let us embrace difficult times in support of each other’s perseverance and faith in the power of creativity.
