The shoot took me to a few different cities and places, time for preparation was pretty short. I believed I was approached to direct them less than a week before the actual shoot. Nevertheless, I had fun. And here are some photos (and videos) I took during the shoot.

When was the last time I have actually posted here? Probably nearly 6 months ago, during the Tokyo International Film Festival. The truth is, ever since I figured that I can automatically post my Instagram posts here, I have gotten lazy. But somehow, my Instagram pictures stopped appearing it, it's quite a bummer, but it means that I have to return and actually WRITE here. To my imaginary audience of one. In that amount of time since I was gone, I have shot my new feature film, "Aqérat". That was late December. Been working on it since then. "Aqérat", which means "life after death" in the Rohingyan language, tells the story of a desperate young woman named Hui Ling (played by regular collaborator Daphne Low) who gets involved in human trafficking.

For the first day of Chinese New Year, we always eat vegetarian food. Usually it's a delicious pot of "Vegetarian Bah Kut Teh" made by Auntie Hui Qing and brought to us in the morning. (Check out more photos from my Instagram account .)

Love pineapple tarts during Chinese New Year. Chicken shaped pineapple tarts? Even better. (Check out more photos from my Instagram account .)

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! (Check out more photos from my Instagram account .)

Farewell 2016. It is fitting that I remember this year through photos from my upcoming film Aqérot, my short film Love is a Dog From Hell, and my end year trips to Busan and Tokyo Film Festivals. I look forward to another great year in cinema. (Check out more photos from my Instagram account .)
