My graduate film “When Cicadas Sing” has been going around the festival circuit- and even won an award! (Yay!!)

I thank everyone who have supported this film from the bottom of my heart- it’s been a very special experience and hopefully I’ll get back into making short films soon!

Ps. I’ll upload the full film online by the end of the year so stay tuned!

I've had the rare opportunity to create a short film about Lunar new year for BBC in the winter of 2022 (On Youtube here!): https://youtu.be/cgpxLbkklyU

Making this has been such a fun experience! Thank you to all who supported me during the process, and an early Happy new year! : D

We are excited to screen @frozenladybugo 's work, Midnight Graduate, at our Encounters screening tomorrow at the Watershed, Bristol.

Hoching Kwok is a Bristol based filmmaker from Hong Kong who creates 2D animated films with vivid color palettes and expressive line work. Inspired by her upbringing in Hong Kong, "Midnight Graduate" is a coming-of-age animated short that centers around two boys coming to terms with their own adulthood while playing a simple basketball game in their soon-to-be demolished neighborhood court. by @frozenladybugo

"A high school graduate and teenage gangster reconcile their childhood friendship through one last game of basketball in their soon-to-be-demolished neighbourhood court, jumping through mornings and sunsets of bygone years."

Midnight Graduate is a bittersweet Cantonese short film project that is currently seeking funding~ hoping we'll get it made soon!
