Grateful to be part of this growing dialogue between Hong Kong and the UAE as a moderator at the Hong Kong Film Gala Presentation 2025 in Dubai, where I had the chance to speak with incredible talents including directors Chan Tai Lee (who fun fact was the screenwriter as well of Ip Man) and Chou Man-Yu, and actor Anson Chan.
Loved hearing their perspectives on storytelling, performance, and the evolving landscape of Hong Kong cinema
✨🎬
Almost forgot was on national TV 3 months ago 😅
Definitely one of the highlights for @thearaarachannel !
Thank you so much again for having us @dubaionetv and @ti22films ❤️

MEET THE CAST !
They brought quiet chaos.
They carried the weight between the words.
And they made silence speak.
From sharp wit to soft unraveling —
These aren’t just performances.
They’re echoes of something real.
Anna – @greenmoment
Liam – @joshuadasofficial
Maya – @norbymusica
Dylan – @ret_575
Shot in 17 hours. Carried by heart.
These four didn’t just act… they became.

No conversation about Japanese culture is complete without mentioning anime. Iveth Solevilla and Ameera Teaño from The Ara Ara Channel emphasize the importance of community for anime fans—a space where they can connect and share their passion.
