We won an Oscar! I mean, kind of!
“Kubrick, Like I Love You” won the bronze prize at the 52nd Student Academy Awards. What an amazing night and unforgettable 4 days! Thank you @theacademy for curating such inspiring experience, and to give us such honorable recognition. Taking the trophy from the hands of @jonmchu was an electrifying moment, and it’s trailblazers like him and the great @lucyliu - who I was lucky and humbled to have met after the ceremony - and many other inspiring figures at the events that night, that will keep urging younger generation filmmakers on to make more unique works that resonate with the world.
For all 14 of us, it’s a beautiful conclusion of something very special, yet also the start of a brand new journey that is completely unknown, and thus exciting. I think we will have fun on it.
“Kubrick, Like I Love You” takes home the Special Mention Award at the 19th FIRST International Film Festival.
Here’s to the best teammates, friends and even strangers that supported our film🩵, formidable opponents that became comrades👯♂️, GOATS of Chinese and world cinema that broke the fourth wall showing supports and giving us the recognition🙇 What memorable 8 days in Xining ——Thank you all!!
Okay, it’s final now. Representing Columbia University, “Kubrick, Like I Love You” is a Student Academy Awards finalist!
Congrats and thanks to all the people who have participated in, advised or helped this film in any ways. Thanks to @columbiafilm and all the cool ppl I have met there. It’s a privilege and honor to be around and get nourished by so many beautiful souls within these 4 years.
See u in LA I guess!👀

Thanks for the trust of dir. @nzitchk and the support from all my lovely friends in the production of “A DAY IN THE NORTH”, which feels so homey yet so totally surreal at times. Being an actor is fun, quite thrilling and very hard. I want to do it again.
