Qualcomm / Lifeline

A 30-minute thriller by an Oscar winner

Few people in China, Qualcomm's biggest market, know that the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor powers most of their phones' most important functions. Enter the product demo disguised as a 30-minute thriller, written and directed by Oscar-winner Armando Bo (Birdman), and starring Chinese mega-star Wang Leehom looking for his missing girlfriend (Olivia Munn), with only her phone (and its Snapdragon features) to unravel the mystery of her disappearance.
