🎥 directing work of ragpickers 《night shift》 music video
學院畢業後的第一個作品，MV是我一直想嘗試的形式，也跟我以往寫開的題材有些許不同，很久沒有這麼純粹了，好似做回Year 1的自己，「乜都唔諗，淨係想玩」。當初聽到這首歌，腦海已浮現起些影像——一個要返night shift嘅OL，意外進入異空間，裡面有班band仔同佢一齊玩。拍攝那天，我們在九龍灣Office由3點拍到翌日早上，和大家一齊做了一日night shift同事，開心～
謝謝 @soothe.wav 找我玩，謝謝 @ragpickers 的信任及奮身投入參與，也謝謝團隊的每一個人，從零到有，沒有你們，就沒有辦法完成作品。相信過程，回到創作的原點，然後每做完一個作品，下次又再繼續努力，下次再做一點不一樣的事情。
🎧night shift is saving us…and you.
thank you and love you all❤️🔥

在2024年最後一天，先祝自己畢業快樂～
認識我的朋友次次見到我都會問：「你畢業未？」，講到我都覺得自己好像進入了黑洞，數數手指，讀電影的日子似乎比中學更漫長。
我曾經渴望快點畢業，渴望著逃離學制，渴望著那久違的自由，如今，真正畢業，心中卻有些不適應。老實說，這四年在演藝學院作為藝術學生，學了甚麼，習過甚麼，記憶似乎已模糊，是否領悟到甚麼是電影嗎？我想我還是不太知道，但我認識及找回了自己，愛上了創作。
上年年末寫的話未曾完成，想看的電影在心中回旋，堆積在角落的書本，靜靜等待著翻閱的時刻，未曾下筆的劇本，猶如含苞未開的花朵，靜靜期盼。在校園和同學打鬧的片段好像還是昨天的事，咻的一聲，我們已然畢業。
此刻的我依然感到幸運，即使笑過、哭過、嬲過、痛過，那些情感的潮起潮落，仍有buddies們的陪伴，牢牢地接住我多變的情緒。那些日子裡，能夠全心全意投入電影的世界，與同學一起拍攝，很美好。
今次我終於可以講，我畢業啦！
“This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
Dear Future Me, please keep rolling, stay hungry and foolish❤️🔥
謝謝 @chan_wai_pang 幫家姐影咗咁多靚相，當然要放多啲🤭多謝 @lingmannn__ 凌晨5點幾就幫我化靚妝💞仲有阿哥同阿嫂 @lokchan818@sa0521shan 全日落力協助✨
a recap from Cannes🎞🎬📽️
我仍然難以置信，飛了大半個地球，就是為了坎城影展，也是這趟solo trip的緣由。
我很任性，但同時我是幸運的。
很愛這屆影展海報，以《八月狂想曲》一鏡頭畫面作為設計，向日本導演黑澤明致敬。夜幕降臨，遠山佇立，五人並肩仰望蒼穹，而電影中的月亮被換成金棕櫚的圖案。電影作為一面鏡子，它可輕如鴻毛，亦可重如泰山，Sean Baker以電影講述性工作者求愛的故事，亦有 Mohammad Rasoulof不惜自由的代價，拍下伊朗女性處境。
坎城影展在詮釋海報時說到：
因為電影，而照亮思想，將心靈從枷鎖中釋放。
因為電影，而緬懷傷痛，與遺忘者爭勝。
因為電影，而見證危難，喚起人民團結。
因為電影，而撫平創痕，修復破碎心靈。
我們就如那五人般坐在銀幕下，仰頭凝視電影所帶來的驚奇與震撼。
當我在寫這段文字的時候，回憶也在我的腦海裡跑了一趟。從杜拜、坎城、巴黎，輾轉再回到坎城，在這快十四天的日子裏，看了許多電影，發生了太多有趣的事，遇見過太多可愛的面孔。每個城市都充滿著令人著迷的白晝時光，也有讓人感到眷戀溫暖的夜晚。
有些事情，只有我知曉。有些感受與溫度，就只有我記得。
I still couldn't believe it, having flown halfway across the globe, all for the Cannes Film Festival, which was the reason for this solo trip.
I may be a little reckless, but I'm also incredibly lucky.
I love this year’s film festival poster so much! All the poetic beauty, hypnotic magic and apparent simplicity of the cinema emerge in this scene from Rhapsody in August, authored by the great Japanese master Akira Kurosawa. Against the night sky, towering mountains loom in the distance as five figures gaze up together - and they've even swapped out the moon from the film for the iconic Golden Palm symbol.
The film truly is a mirror, it may be weightier than a mountain or lighter than a feather. Sean Baker uses the medium to tell a captivating story of a sex worker searching for love, while Mohammad Rasoulof risked his freedom to shine a light on the plight of Iranian women.
“Because it gives everyone a voice, it enables emancipation. Because it remembers wounds, it combats oblivion. Because it bears witness to perils, it calls for union. Because it soothes trauma, it helps repair the living.“
We sit like those five figures, gazing upward at the wonders and the power that the screen can bring.
As I'm writing this, all the memories are rushing back, permanently etched in my heart. From Dubai to Cannes, Paris, and back to Cannes again, so much happened in those almost two weeks. I watched many films, met so many fascinating people, and was captivated by the charm of each city, from the mesmerizing daylight to the cozy nights.
Some experiences are mine alone to cherish, some feelings and moments only I will remember.

匆匆忙忙連滾帶爬地走過2025年，有時候累到說不出話來，攰到覺得自己就快要登出呢個世界，好像每說一句話，每走一步路，都要先推開一座大山。但的確有一小部分仍美好，痛並快樂着，因為感受到身邊有好多好多愛，好多相信及喜歡我作品的人，就會告訴自己，「欸我其實都唔係做得好差啫」，值得再往前走多一步。
如果這個世界真的活得太複雜，那我就悄悄縮小一點，按照自己的方式生活。不必去追逐，也不需證明什麼，守護自己的光。至少我可以保持純粹，不被喧囂牽動。等到風不再急促，雨不再冰冷，我再一步一步走出去也不會晚。
到那時，也許能看到更廣闊的天空，也許能聽見自己溫柔而堅定的心跳。或許我那時經已學會，如何在這複雜中好好安頓自己。
Rushing and scrambling through 2025, I sometimes so exhausted I can’t speak, so worn out I feel like I might log off from this world — as if every word I say, every step I take, I first have to push aside a mountain. Still, there are small, lovely moments. The pain is threaded with joy because I feel so much love around me, so many people who believe in and enjoy my work. That makes me tell myself, “Hey, actually not as bad as I thought,” and it’s worth taking one more step forward.
If this world really becomes too complicated, I’ll quietly shrink a little and live my own way. No need to chase or prove anything — guard my own light. At least I can stay pure, unpulled by the clamour. When the wind no longer howled, and the rain no longer bitterly cold, it won’t be too late for me to step out again, one step at a time.
By then I’ll see a wider sky, maybe I’ll hear my own heartbeat — soft but steady. Perhaps by then I will have learned how to settle myself nicely amid the chaos.
早前，很榮幸地獲得了油角@中南廣場及城市速寫畫家 Kelsey Chan 的邀請，能一同策展，更能在這一隅播放兩年前仍是電影學生身分，以茶果嶺村為題執導的紀錄片。

趁著自己還年輕，解鎖一項人生體驗——潛水🤿
早上7點多，潛水店接駁巴士到酒店附近接我去碼頭，跟著大隊乘船出海到潛水點。途中教練會分享潛水的注意事項，以及講解水下如何使用裝備、基本操作和交流手勢，還會讓我們穿上裝備練習幾次。
濺起的海浪聲伴隨著心跳跳動，當我第一次將頭埋入水中，練習呼吸時，窒息感和恐懼感湧現，覺得自己做不到，只想立刻抬起頭來。因為沒有掌握好呼吸的節奏，節奏被打亂而導致不斷喝到海水，很鹹。台灣教練一直努力教我如何調整好我的狀態，帶著我繼續往下潛，鼓勵我已經很棒了。慢慢放鬆心態，就覺得其實沒那麼害怕了。
潛水前吃了暈浪藥，仍因胃部不適而感到暈眩。上水後，不得不向大海之神獻上我早餐Lawson炸雞。同行其他教練迅速遞上熱茶及紙巾，告訴我「You’ll feel better after vomiting」。不過，我上岸前又再嘔⋯⋯
直到第二次深潛，跟著教練潛入水底的那一刻，恐懼轉化為探索的渴望，世界瞬間靜止，四周除了海底blublu的聲音，只有我自己的呼吸與心跳，似乎已然置身太空（雖然我未曾真正經歷過haha）。
放空思緒，在六七米的水深處，與魚群共游，時間咻的一聲就過去了，很奇妙的感覺～
feel the fear and do it anyway 🕺🏻
