I’ve been doing some research on Dayyan Eng today, the director of Waiting Alone, and found out that he is a Chinese-American filmmaker who was born in Taiwan in 1975.
Since I really liked Waiting Alone, I checked into his earlier works — one of which was Bus 44 (車四十四 Chē Sì Shí Sì). It’s a short film, obviously based on a true story, that tells the fate of a female bus driver and her passengers encountering highway robbers on a lonely road in the countryside. Yet another excellent short film worth watching.
