For some reason, I couldn’t find my tribe at film school. I knew it’s really hard to make a film by myself, but at that time, I didn’t have any choice. At the beginning of making this film, I wasn’t so sure if I could make it. But I did all I could, step by step, with the help of friends & strangers who weren’t in my film circle. All I knew was to make something true to myself & deeply from my heart.
I approached cinema with the innocence of a little girl who hadn’t been to the movies. Where I grew up, the world was filled with noise that rushed children into adulthood & made them forget their dreams. There were prime numbers who were lonely with their odd thoughts & unanswered questions. I found myself wasn’t ready to grow up with my childish & uncertain dream.
I left to explore different versions of myself in this endless world & search for another place called home. I allowed my heart to be curious & naive to find my silly little treasure in the grown-ups’ world.
I found myself petty & useless when facing this huge & vague dream of making art. I struggled to sneak my little stories into the cinema world. After countless bruises, I wandered in complete darkness, holding my fragile dreams close. I asked myself:
Why do I make films?
What is cinema to me?
Who am I in this world?
I don’t know how to erase the world’s sadness or give the answers to everyone’s troubles in life. All I can do is to tell my little stories in the hope of helping other prime numbers feel less lonely & have faith in their unique journeys. The only thing I know is that the heart will always lead us to the right path.
