In the Urn (2023)

In the Urn is a musical documentary about a struggling young Chinese metal band in Melbourne. It was produced, filmed, edited, and color-graded by Milo Ma. 

This documentary unfolds the narrative of a metal band that defies convention, crafting their music with traditional Chinese instruments, a world away from their roots. Through the lens of the band's founder and lead singer, the film delves into the internal struggles of a new generation of cultural creators. As the story unfolds, it becomes a poignant reflection on the disconnect among contemporary youth, the widening gap with the preceding generation, and the cultural divides that shape our interconnected world.
