Director Biography - Bruno Lam

Upon completing my studies in Melbourne (RMIT BA in Advertising, 04/05), I decided to return to Hong Kong where I was born and grew up in.

I wanted to spend my effort and creativity on something more productive at that time, so I began writing songs.

It was when I witnessed the enormous change that morphed Hong Kong I realised I could tell stories about the change, the people, and the emotions, memories that might be lost in face of such change.

Then I ended up with my first film project, blessed with working with my team, who are also passionate first timers. It was a life changing experience for all of us.

What's next for me, I do not know, but I'll keep telling stories. I see no reason not to.
