Creative Direction: Cynthia El Frenn

Production: Claire Ptak

Sound Design and Music: Oliver Starling

"Me, Myself, and Cake" takes us on a close-up journey through the art of cake building, intertwining it with life's emotions. The film skillfully juxtaposes the intricacies of cake layers with the depth of human experiences—the joys, the sorrows, and everything in between. As we witness the creation of the cake, we come to understand that life's true essence lies in embracing a full spectrum of emotions. Each layer represents a moment, and just like the cake, life is a masterpiece that thrives on the amalgamation of every emotion we encounter. The film invites us to savor and appreciate the beauty found within each emotional experience, making the journey all the more profound.

Collaborating with a full team and selection of emerging designers (Maroske Peech, Johannes Warnke, MØY Atelier ++) to portray Xiaoqiao Wang as the modern day EROS - the Goddess of love and passion, the film is a journey of energy going through her, us being the observers and the participants of lust and release. The poem is written from the perspective of a true romantic balancing on the edge of feeling blue, longing, sexual liberation, and self-love – with an ever-present ambivalence and nostalgia.
