I would like to thank NAE for providing this opportunity for me to visit Golden Harvest Awards. This was the first time I went to the famed festival. There were different aspiring short film directors present in the festival. It was the first time I felt like I was the older than a lot of my peers, and I had a lot to learn from them. An artist cannot really improve himself without getting into the real world and learn how his works are received firsthand. This trip helps me further develop my connections with Taiwanese filmmakers and audiences. My World is a work that is highly specific to Hong Kong's local atmosphere. Audiences had different interpretations in different festivals globally. I am amazed to learn about how my works are viewed and understood in different cultural context. Short film is a medium that is completely different from feature. No matter how many features I make, I will always keep coming back for shorts.
