Things Fall Apart is the first in Robert Darroll's Taiwanese Trilogy which follows as an interpretation to a lengthy period of teaching in Taiwan. It is dedicated to Darroll's students in the Department of Digital Media at Ming Chuan University. The experimental short was created as part of Darroll's research into Digital Aesthetics. The scenes were shot mostly in Taoyuan and Tianmu, Taipei. The film serves as a reminder that everything that comes into existence is temporary.
An experimental film created from 3 years worth of abstract pencil drawings with the goal of being a catalyst for unveiling a new mental landscape in viewers.

Man often yearns of a past more innocent and pure. This film disregards that sentimentality and depicts a constant, permanent transformation of the landscape of mountains and rivers.
Maxed out, burnt out, and sex-starved, Amber Su falls under the spell of glamorous self-help guru Coco Ging, whose mentorship turns desire and ambition into different kinds of debt.
