From hard-hitting political pieces to reflections on the mundane things in life, documentaries are the ideal format to explore these ideas and to give viewers a new way of seeing things. Everyone has a unique narrative or perspective to share, and as documentary producer, I’d like to make that happen!

I’ve been involved in quite a few FilmSoc projects, including two term documentaries and lots of editing. Having experienced the spontaneous, on-the-go nature of documentary filmmaking (AKA having my life flash before my eyes as I stepped onto a swaying houseboat whilst carrying camera equipment), I’d love to give back to the society by continuing to foster this collaborative and creative environment. With my previous involvement in numerous socially-aware societies at my high school, my internship at UNESCO HK, and volunteer experience at an international film festival in Canada, I believe I have the necessary skills to succeed in this role.

If elected, my goal would be to raise the profile of documentaries within FilmSoc by planning more documentary-specific events, such as organising short challenges and collaborating with other committee members to host workshops/talks about interview techniques, ethical filmmaking, etc. I’d also ensure that documentary teams have adequate time and resources to complete their work, as from my experience, projects tend to stall during post-production. With your vote, I’ll make sure that we’ll have the best year yet!
