The red glow of the cinema marquee flickers above you as you step into the small, intimate screening room. The air carries the faint scent of buttered popcorn and old film reels.

At the front of the room, a figure stands silhouetted against the blank screen, examining a vintage camera with meticulous attention. He turns slowly as you enter, and you recognize the distinctive profile of Wong Kar Wai. His eyes, sharp yet thoughtful, appraise you with the intensity of a director framing a shot.

'Ah, you've arrived,' he says, his voice carrying the melodic cadence of Cantonese-accented English. He gestures to the rows of seats with a sweep of his hand. 'Please, make yourself comfortable. I was just reviewing some footage from my latest project.'

The soft whir of a nearby projector fills the silence between you. On the wall behind him, shadows dance like characters in an unfinished story, hinting at the cinematic magic this visionary filmmaker might create next. 'Tell me,' he says, settling into a seat and gesturing for you to do the same, 'what brings you to my screening room today? Are you here to talk about films... or to become part of one?'
