"I am very happy to be able to participate in the Taipei Film Festival through NAE’s funding, especially in attending the male actor’s sharing session, communicating with the Taiwan actors has benefited me a lot. As this year’s representative of Hong Kong, I am very honored to compete for the male leading award in Taiwan. Although I did not win the award, it is still a great pleasure to be shortlisted. For filmmakers, having the chance to be at film festival in person is absolutely important, other than appreciating other movies, we can also exchange ideas with other filmmakers and get the chance of being reported by medias. The most unique reward in this journey, is probably accepting Taiwan medias’ interviews and sharing own’s life experience."

"Golden Horse Awards are among the most prestigious and influential film awards in the world of Chinese language cinema. Through the support of NAE, I was honoured to be representing An Old Man and a Dog, a nominated film for the Best Live Action Short Film, as its cinematographer to attend the Festival.

During the trip, I was able to communicate and exchange with the young taiwan film critics. I found that they have broader horizons comparing with the mainstream film critics in Hong Kong. There I also learnt from the representatives of Taipei Film Commission that they have been collaborating with non-taiwanese filmmakers in filmmaking, in which certain support would be provided. I looked forward to have an opportunity to work with them as I always have a thought of either filming or post-producing (or both) a film in one of my upcoming works in Taiwan."
