Director Statement

Soo is a personal story about my best friend's Grandfather, Colin Soo, who just turned 100. This film is a time capsule of Colin's life, stories and personality. In the process of making it, not only did I get to know him, but he changed my outlook on life. I hope this film has the power to do the same for all audiences.
