It was such an honor to be a finalist and win one of the film awards at Sony Catchlight Film festival.
I didn’t start out as a filmmaker but began my career in engineering. About six years ago, I decided to chase my dream of becoming a filmmaker and document the beautiful story happening in the world. It wasn’t an easy shift, but it’s proof that when you follow your passion and work hard, amazing things can happen.
I’ve been following this festival for the past two years, dreaming that one day there’d be a category for content creators like me. And boom — Bob’s your uncle!!
Huge thanks to
@sonyaustralia @sonyalpha.anz @sony @sonyprofilmmaking for making this happen and for the innovative, amazing tech — the a7s3 I’m currently using! That camera seriously changed my life as a run-and-gun filmmaker.” I wouldn’t be here without it.
Also, a massive shoutout to my incredible producer (and wife)
@caseycaicai 💖 Without her support, *Wanderlust Bali* wouldn’t even be a thing. And of course, thank you to all the amazing people, especially my two mates
@mas_bagus1745 and
@david.karunia who helped us along the way in Bali, also a big shout to my friends
@samguophoto @jarvisliu559 @lulu_o_deer @brodysearle who support and share the joy with me. I love you all!
And to anyone out there chasing your dreams — keep going. If I can make it this far, so can you.
Thank you so much again, and let’s keep creating magic together! ✨🙌”
