Title :怀 (huai) – Brown Sugar Year : 2009 Duration : 14:30 minutes Language : Mandarin with English Subtitles Role :Director
Synopsis : Decidedly, this is not a story about overcoming odds. This is a story about closure. The poem to be finished is not about loss, not entirely, but it is about the one thing that they believed in; Love.
Director’s Statement : A story written by a friend of mine which is very dear to him. He asked if I’d like to shoot it into a film and I made the film in my rendition but maintaining the poetry as a form of respect to him.

Synopsis : A mother and her daughter return home from the crematorium. As the day unfolds, a packet of cigarettes both threatens and strengthens what is left of the family.

Title : Sikoses Year : 2010 Duration : 2:13 minutes Language : English Role : Co-Director / Animator / Sound Designer
Synopsis : An exploration of Travis Bickle’s psychosis, in a remix of Scorsese’s film. The film attempts to show the various stages of this process, starting with isolation, and then giving way to delusions and the questioning of reality, culminating finally in the psychosis itself. This is done through an abstract representation of our protagonist’s psyche.
Director : Using mainly After Effects for the animation segment, we set to depict and reinterpret the scene chosen from Taxi Driver (1976). Using basic geometric shapes for the entire treatment as a form of abstraction and process of breaking it down to the bare minimum.
