Director Statement

Harsh but true, old age often pushes people out of relevance, let alone having a disability. I wanted to prove that it doesn’t have to be. We can always do something remarkable.

As Singapore's ageing population further grows, I hope to remind our seniors that there is grace and bravery in growing old, even when it may seem daunting when the world around us is constantly changing.

No dream is too big to achieve, as long as imagination exists.
