Director Statement

The idea of ​​this short film comes from my attitude towards life.
I found that with the progress of the times, especially in the cities, people are losing more precious things while pursuing to improve the material standards of living. People always care only about their feelings, but they are very indifferent to things and people around them. They ignore the meaning of life itself. As a director, I want to express my understanding and perception of life through my work. Life is often tough, and everyone will experience a trough. But life is in itself for the meaning of happiness. I hope that everyone can be positive and optimistic about life, so I call "smile" on my short film.
