Last night was a big night for all students at Capilano University MOPA, celebrating their 3rd year and watching all their hard work come to life.
I had so many feelings going into this film. First off, stepping foot back at Capilano — where I spent so much of my early adulthood figuring out my life and what career path I wanted — although film and TV wasn’t my choice at the time, it’s never too late to start.
@thegodgrandpafilm is inspired by a real story about a man — a husband and father providing for his family in the only way he can. It’s not always the right decision, but his wife stands by his side. This film hits home in so many ways, and to be able to do this in Cantonese is a dream. Growing up in Canada meant watching a mix of American shows and Hong Kong TV dramas and movies, and to have the opportunity to do a HK-style film in Canada does not happen everyday. Congratulations to @ingparanut and @nateee__ for bringing this story to life — I’m so honoured to be working with @allen_isaac_leung again and meeting new talents like @denisngtung
To the rest of the crew @thegodgrandpafilm — you truly are the glue that holds our whole film together. The level of support and professionalism made it so comfortable being on set. Thank you! 🙏 🫶🏻🎉
Special shout-out to @dusdub , thanks for watching the kids honey! 😘🫶🏻

“I need to escape this reality,” is what I said to myself every day for the past 3 months. Trying to escape the reality of people doubting, daily problems, rejection, and more to list. Some people don’t believe in us and think this film might be impossible to make. Some think this film is just a “3rd year exercise” which is fair. This film has three locations, is a Chinese cultural film, and all speak in Cantonese. With all of these circumstances, the film was really close to not happening. But… I do trust my team. More than that, I do have a great team who always have my back. What matters the most is, in the end, we did pull it off together. Everyone should be proud of themself.
Thank you, everyone, for joining my very personal film. It means so much to me. Thank you all who joined this film; you guys are the heart of this film, and you guys made this story alive again. Without everyone here, this film will be just a dream. I couldn’t thank you guys enough.
My grandpa and grandma passed away a while ago already, but I’m sure that they are proud of us and happy that their story will never be forgotten.
Lastly, just a reminder… nothing is impossible when you put 100% into it… We fucking did it. We did escape reality and make our own one.
