People might say that film doesn’t need a degree, but I beg to differ. I found many opportunity to expose myself to many different kind of people in school, exposing myself to many kinds of lifestyle. These has always been my inspiration when telling a story or even through cinematography. I want share people’s stories through my voice, my films.” - Chee Kang Xiong
