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.
