In a rehearsal scene for Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece 'Presence' (遙距在場), actor Mak Ho-tin is captured in an intimate, low-angle shot as he crouches on a patterned-tile floor, curiously observing a small remote-controlled robotic vehicle equipped with a smartphone mount. The lighting is soft and natural, emphasizing the subtle, playful expression on Mak’s face as he interacts with the technological element of the performance. This interactive stage performance explores themes of distance and human connection. Mak Ho-tin says, "Sam is preparing for Tasseography but he needs some tea leaves. Do you have any? Give him some!"
