This short film about a local restaurant in North Point, Hong Kong, won the First Prize International Diagloue of Cultures Award at 'Switch On Your Creativity', a short film competition held at the Milan Expo 2015.
This film explores ideas surrounding aspects of food and sustainable development in the context of urban Hong Kong and our beloved Cantonese cuisine. Whether we can feed ourselves sustainably depends not only on the future of sustainable farming, but it is also every bit about the sustainability of our urban space, our talent, and our culture.
Original Soundtrack
A Portrait of Sun Wah Kee afforded me the opportunity to compose two ambient tracks capturing the tranquility of nightime North Point, Hong Kong:

"Primordial Lines" in full
Each Line One Breath is a video about artist John Franzen filmed by Tian Ji and commissioned by Parkview Art Hong Kong. My composition titled 'Primordial Lines' is inspired by Franzen's ability to complement his distinctive drawing method with an appeal to deep philosophical ideas. My intention is for the turn of each chord to portray the inhaling and exhaling of Franzen's lines, whilst allowing the harmonic journey to capture the energy and dynamism with each breath.
