True Reflection
Inspired by the Asian Immigrant Experience and Michelle
Yeoh’s rise to notoriety in the western world, this film explores
the concept of fame, stardom and most importantly one’s
heritage and identity.
The film shines light through the costumes, on when one
attempts to strips themselves of their heritage and tries to
assimilate into the boarder unfamiliar western world, always
ends in confusion, self doubt and feelings of dysphoria. It is
only when one embraces and celebrate their own background
and customs, individual not only honour their true selves but
also find the path to genuine achievement and fulfilment.
