  • I distrust most things, especially news. I read news everyday, I read the story, but I do not know the truth, I m interested in something hidden,  the stories behind the stories. Basically, it is about the relationship between minorities and the public, and what happens when there's a conflict in values. 

    My graduate film Squids are Part Alien is a story about this, my two characters Jude and Momo have superpowers, Jude's superpower can only help herself, so no one cares about her. Momo's superpower can help others but it will hurt himself at the same time, so everyone uses him. It is about being selfish by hurting others, but I gave them a happy ending, which would have never happened in reality. I want to let this story just be like a story.
