Music, Movies, and Books

Tech magazines, fiction and non-fiction (non-fiction first!…as I am a documentary film producer working on 5 films at the moment)
Have been reading a lot of academic works in Media Arts because of my ongoing Erasmus master’s degree.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit the government job and start my solo travel in March 2014 from California to Costa Rica. 10.5 months later, I was back to my hometown — Hong Kong and pursued a career in documentary films. 5 years later, I have been able to live and travel independently by doing the things i love.
