Red Dragonflies in HKIFF

I am in the film called Red Dragonflies, which will be screening at HKIFF. :)) very exciting.  The whole thing was a very interesting experience for me.  It took me a while to figure out what my part meant to the story. The crazy thing was, the director had the story line, but not a scrīpt, which made me even more nervous to figure out if I am doing my part right... But Jie Kai wanted to get as naturalistic (conversations and reactions) with it  as possible. Now I can see why he chose to do it the way he did. I flew to Singapore for ten days, and though it was a short time, I met many warm great people there and experienced a bit of everyday Singapore life. They were some of the most surreal days of my life. I woke up, went to the Botanical Garden by myself, drew and painted. I hadn't had alone time for a long time, so it was funny and strange how I met many people on the street and had random conversations. An old gardener who told me his whole life story in Singapore, a lady in a restaurant, a group of sweet people who I met in the church,etc... Going to a place where I didn't know anyone, and working on a project that now will be screening in a theatre. I believe, anything can happen in life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0Mtm-EprmkRed Dragonflies by Liao JiekaiAlong an abandoned railroad running through dense forest vegetation, housing backyards, and unseen settlements, three youths retrace a trail of iron and wood. At a different part of the island, Tienwei rekindles an old friendship with Rachel – a meeting littered with incongruence, absences and traces of childhood dreams. The title RED DRAGONFLIES is taken from an iconic song by The Little Tigers and uses the flight of the red dragonfly as a childhood icon, metaphor for the process of growing up and pursuit of dreams.http://www.hkiff.org.hk/eng/film/title/34167-red-dragonflies.html[](/batch.download.php?aid=9552607)
