“Home Takeaways” is a heritage cooking series, featuring cultural recipes passed down from one generation to another. In the first season of 9 webisodes, we catch Debbie Chow, a Hong Kong-born Canadian, just before she relocates from her birthplace to USA with her American husband and two toddlers. She learns from her mother how to cook a selection of her favorite Cantonese dishes. These takeaways from home, she hopes, will not only allow her children to grow up enjoying Cantonese home cooking, but will also preserve bite-sized heritage for future generations to come.
Home Takeaways – soy sauce chicken
Home Takeaways – Sweet Ginkgo Nut Soybean Soup

“Reflections” is a moving painting by an artificial intelligence, named Albert Iynstein. It reflects on Hong Kong’s fast-paced, often robotic city life, and juxtaposes it with nature’s humanisation in the form of a haiku. Using neural networks developed by Paint A.I., Albert Iynstein studied many visual artworks before his time, namely Picasso, Munch and Hokusai, which inspired him to apply their styles (not filters) to this moving painting artificially and intelligently.

Fruits of Fury is a martial arts music video made in reaction to Hong Kong’s Urban Renewal Authority’s plans to effectively remove the Central wet market in favor of building new residential and commercial complexes. The story: Two strangers, going grocery shopping, fight for ‘bok choy’ and end up going at each other with whatever’s around them – fresh flowers, fruits, vegetables, fish and pork. Finally, they grow exhausted, call it truce and grab a bite to eat at the nearby ‘dai pai dong’. They become fast friends, until it came time to settling the bill…
