外卖 (2008)
Take Out
一名非法移民，一笔偷渡债务，一天之内必须还清。
这是一部描写中国非法移民在纽约打工与生活的故事。剧中主角丁明，在电影一开始尚未起床就遭到两名黑道份子闯入家中殴打他，并命令他当天要交出偷渡 来美国的高利贷费用800美金，于是他开始了疯狂忙碌的一天。在餐厅打工的同伴甚至于为了他牺牲自己的工作时数，只为了帮助他能早日还清债务。整部片就在跟拍丁明一天工作过程下，呈现了非法移民不为人知的真实面。扮演丁明的演员：Charles Jang，是一名美籍韩裔人，他为了这部片还特别到台湾学了一年的中文，整部片以普通话贯穿全戏，抢戏的餐厅经理一角是由李云娣所扮演，而这部以导演邹时擎住所的楼下餐厅为主景的电影，在极低的预算下，拍出了让人惊艳的戏剧性与张力，是一部相当感人与必看的佳作。 我们希望在银幕上忠实呈现生活在纽约的非法中国移民所遭遇到的困境，而且很高兴这部电影能引起很多人的关心与共鸣。当然，整个拍摄的过程与完成，都是在师长及友人的帮助下才得以完成。目前各界反应是成功的，这是让我们最感到欣慰的一件事。

趣闻
Take Out is a 2004 American independent drama film written and directed by Sean Baker and Shih-Ching Tsou. Tsou's co-directorial debut feature and Baker's second work, the film follows an undocumented Chinese immigrant working as a deliveryman for a Chinese take-out shop in New York City.
Production
Take Out was filmed in and near Upper Manhattan, New York, in the spring of 2003 on a budget of $3,000. The film was shot on digital video due to both the cinema vérité style and a non-existent budget with an ensemble cast of both professional and nonprofessional actors while shooting without a full crew in an actual take-out restaurant during operating hours.
Charles Jang is a Korean-American actor born on Long Island who learned Chinese while studying abroad in Taiwan. Co-director Shih-Ching Tsou, who is from Taiwan, assumed that he was from China when he auditioned.
