More Like This… is a cinematic short film by Pei-Chi Chen, shot through the warped lens of a New York City apartment peephole. A cast of characters approach the door, ring the bell, and wait, loitering and pacing in the fluorescent light of the drab hallway. The visitors include a delivery worker and a friend carrying takeout, as well as a cowboy, a mafia type with a baseball bat, and a nervous young man holding a bouquet of roses. Played by the same actor, these characters blur the line between what is mundane, familiar, and “real” and what is fantastical, surreal, or imaginary.
