Let Me Dream is a short film showcasing Asian students' daydreams.
Born and raised in east Asia, I grew up in a stressful educational environment, where we
studied from dawn until late at night, with packed schedules and constant exams.
The confined spaces and relentless pace often led me to escape into daydreams.
One drowsy afternoon, I had a hypoglycemic episode and ended up having a lucid
dream, where I turned all my dreaded study materials into my favorite desserts and
snacks.
With my project, Let Me Dream, I brought this youthful daydream to life. Using a
combination of realistic and pixel styles, I invite viewers into a playful and imaginative
world.
