Director’s Statement
This project took me and my team an entire year to finish. During this process, we ran into many creative and technical hardships, and it was countless of sleepless nights that brought us this film, which we are incredibly proud of. I want to take this opportunity to reflect on my childhood memories and promote Chinese cultures that often goes unnoticed. As an aspiring filmmaker, I strive to identify my own voice using visual language.
