There isn’t a shortcut for anywhere worth going. We often put this pressure on ourselves to be perfect, but things take time and that’s okay. Let yourself evolve over time.

The Grassroots Gallery by @hotteroutwest A night that brought the community together inside the @artgalleryofnsw , celebrating the emerging talent growing here in Sydney. We realised there wasn’t enough opportunities for creatives to have their work seen, or spaces for the community to come together and connect in a real and authentic way. We needed something that confronted a tackled Tall Poppy Syndrome. The Grassroots Gallery was our way of making a change. We had 5 artists, 3 musicians, 3 DJs and a keynote from a cultural leader share their stories in a room of more than 500 people. Bringing our community closer together. Thank you to everyone who showed up and believed in this. Knowing that we were able to inspire people to keep chasing their dreams, to feel seen and to experience a genuine sense of belonging is exactly what we wanted to create. Thank you to the team at the AGNSW for helping us make our vision come to life. Thank you to the rest of the HOW team for their support & hard work. The best thing i've worked on in my life so far.

draw outside the lines even when they tell us not to. with @hotteroutwest co-producing the @artgalleryofnsw Archie Party this friday, i wanted to create a little piece that reflects how sometimes many of us creatives weren’t encouraged to go down this path. this piece was to represent this feeling that we all have felt sometime in our childhood, that what we want to do isn’t enough, that creating art is for the higher class. that other subjects like maths and science were more important than being creative, however we now know that our stories are just as powerful and meaningful than what is already in a museum. there is immense value in our stories and experiences, and we have the magical opportunity to share that with others . shoutout to our visual team at hotter out west for trusting my vision 🤍 Director - Dillon Fernando Colourist - Tonyteni Taulaga @tonyteni Gaffer - Nawealth Keopaseuth @nawealth_photog Creative Assists: Isaiah Viray & Declan Ou Yong @virqyy @decc.oy

Order For A young girl witnesses a small glimpse of what the secret life of her father looks like as an immigrant parent. I made this Proof of Concept/Short Film in my final yr at @aftrs (2023). I wanted to make a Proof of Concept that showcases the real daily struggles and experiences that immigrant parents face in today’s world. More specifically, how these bad experiences can come from people of similar culture. This film was inspired by true events.
