Noe's early interest was in the Theatre and he later switched his focus of studies to World Film Studies, Film Theories, Criticism and Screenplay. He lives in Yangon, Myanmar and is a translator/interpreter at Human Rights Human Dignity International Film Festival, which is part of Human Rights Films Network. He also participated in Produire Au Sud Program in Bangkok. His previous film "A Story Long Ago" was shown at Wathann FF (Yangon and Bangkok editions), Stepping Stone FF (Bengalore, India), and NETMAA FF (Los Angeles, USA).
The story and plot for “Forgiving Sky” is inspired by a true story from Central African Republic that happened a few months ago. When faced with a desperate and relentlessly inhuman situation, how long can we hold on to our humanities and our collective dignity as humans? This is a question I want to impose upon the audience with this film and the answer still eludes me to this day.
