Synopsis : Afemalefindsindependencefromanabusiverela3onship.

Producer’s Statement : The biggest challenge was to make the video look way more expensive then the budget allowed. I learnt much from organizing big crews and cast, and more on safety precautions that a producer should take note of on set!

Title : 香/烟 Year : 2010 Duration : 4:07 minutes Language : English

Synopsis : Amotherandherdaughterreturnhomefromthecrematorium.Asthedayunfolds,apacketofcigare?esboththreatensandstrengthenswhat'sleAofthefamily.

Production Designer’s Statement : I wanted to create a set that was morose, somber and had emotional honesty of a place that was grieving. The color palette was mostly full of grays and complimentary shades, with a tinge of warm colors to hint of the strong relationship between mother and child.
