-Do you remember the exact moment you fell in love with cinema? 

Shaun’s love for the showbiz is anything beyond outstanding, he has such an incredible love and passion for the entertainment business. Shaun first found his talent through script writing when his brother Jimmy show him a script called Constantine, he read through the script and then it click on him. Shaun soon started to get to understand the basic principle of a script and the meaning of it, he never once went to school for it, he self-taught it by myself. Then growing up watching his first movies that truly attracted him and still does Desperado and Toy Story, those movies presented Shaun in a way that he truly felt connected and magical of the aspect of movies. Shaun felt deep down that showbiz will be his Hollywood dream career.

-Tell us about your project “HOPE!”.

The idea came about when I wanted to showcase what would happen when we all fall down in life and what happens after we fallen from grace; we do our very best to pray for the best and THEN a miracle happens; a prayer of light guides you in for a helping hand to rise from the ground and have another chance of life again.

-Which Director inspire you the most?

Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard & Quentin Tarantino.

-What do you dislike about the world and what would you change?

Too much hate and not enough love & peace in this world of ours. I believe it’s time to care for one another and show love & respect to everyone so this world can keep going, bring back the family values that once was back in the golden era in this day & age because we all need it.

-Do you remember the exact moment you fell in love with cinema?

When I was around 19 years old and studying for my Bachelor’s degree, I rented movies from the school library. The first time I watched My Fair Lady on DVD, I fell in love with it.

-Tell us about your project “The New Immigrants – Hong Kongers”.

This documentary explores hidden places in Manchester, revealing how Hong Kongers are integrating into British culture and lifestyle through conversations with parents and friends. By capturing authentic experiences, it aims to provide newly arrived Hong Kongers with insights into adapting to life in the UK, while highlighting the unique and meaningful aspects of British life. Through these real-life examples, viewers will gain an understanding of why many Hong Kongers choose to immigrate, viewed from both Hong Kong and British perspectives. The film also seeks to foster empathy among British viewers, helping them appreciate the emotions Hong Kongers experience upon arrival and promoting mutual understanding and acceptance.

-Which Director inspires you the most?

Shunji Iwai, a famous Japanese director, has deeply inspired me through his poetic films. Some of my favorites include Love Letter, April Story, Rainbow Song, The Forgotten Bride, and Last Letter.

-What do you dislike about the world and what would you change?

I dislike bullying, racism, and discrimination. I believe change should start with education, guidance, and awareness to help others understand different races, so we can learn to accept and respect one another—because we all share the same humanity and live together in this world.

-How do you imagine cinema in 100 years?

I imagine a future where cinema is experienced through VR, with 3D image models appearing right in front of you—like in Minority Report—or even through direct connections to the brain that allow you to watch movies as real-time dreams, much like Matrix and Inception in the tomorrow’s world.
