I believe music stays in our heart and remembers the memories we shared. It connects us in ways that transcend language.
This is a meaningful and beautiful story, and I’m glad to be able to capture and create this film with director @jonnykeeys and producer @ian_tan24

This year has been the 3rd time I have DPed a MAMM project, and would like to share my first year work on “Closing Doors”
There is the story that we make, and the story of making it.
Each year has been wonderful experiences for me, and each year makes me certain that I love filmmaking🫧
Thank you for all the friends who always been there and support my journey 🫶🏻
