Described as “La Jetée” meets “La La Land”, the film screened everywhere from festivals to universities to the UN, and was written up by Asia Society, Vice, Tatler, Huffington Post, Kodak, and Vogue, and is now available on Amazon and Tubi. His work has been recognized by Tribeca, SFFILM, Film Lincoln Center, EAVE, Scholastic, and the Hong Kong Asia Financing Forum, where he won the 2024 TAICCA Prize. He’s also an alum of the Google Creative Lab, and was previously Head of Film for TBWA\ Hong Kong, where he cut his teeth directing branded content.
Today, he’s developing a feature about aging, in order to convince the world of lessons shared by his grandmother with dementia, to confront his current reality caring for two aging parents, and to make peace with his own potential predisposition for the disease.
