Lianpeng Zhao’s Museum of Death — no production figures

Zhao discusses the film's themes and craft; the published interview contains no production budget, crew size, shooting schedule or director’s fee as of 04 August 2026.

Still from Museum of Death: a soul among weathered objects and falling dust in a dim museum space

Lianpeng Zhao frames Museum of Death as a quiet, memory-driven piece: deliberate pacing, precise objects and a soundscape that leans on Cantonese opera. In a published interview he walks through choices in casting, cinematography, art direction and sound design, describing collaborators and aesthetic aims.

As of 04 August 2026 the published interview contains no production budget, crew size, shooting schedule or director’s fee.

The discussion names specific crafts—director of photography, camera operator, art department and sound designer—and explains how those departments shaped the film’s atmosphere. Zhao describes working methods, the balance between objective framing and a soul’s point of view, and the use of everyday objects as carriers of memory. He credits collaborators for technical and creative contributions but does not attach monetary or scheduling figures to those roles.

For anyone needing numbers to budget, bid or invoice, this interview supplies context and credits but no hard production figures. Zhao closes by signalling his ongoing commitment to filmmaking:

'I'll keep making films.'

The piece is useful for understanding creative intent; it contains no line items a freelancer could invoice against.
