piece of work is life consuming for the sake of building connections with
people around the world. When you walk into a film festivals, you will see the
people you try to build connection with. Your work may not be able to affect
their important decisions in life, however, you have at least pulled them
closer to yourself by sharing your thoughts with them. Besides, I am so pleased
to meet a Hong Kong film producer there and he shared his experience to me
which helped me improve my work. I talked to myself after this film festival, I
will keep walking my path of film making and won’t give up easily."
