DEGANZ has released a beautifully expressed blog article from Hweiling Ow, WIFT member and director, sharing parts of her journey into filmmaking from her childhood influences to the path that has unfolded before her.
“My advice to cut through the noise? Utilise the free online soapbox to your advantage. Popularity and external validation literally count. You will be asked what your voice is. And I challenge you to look for the uncomfortable truth within yourself, the one that makes you feel vulnerable. That is likely your authentic voice that people want to hear and see. And then ensure you are supported by a team of people (definitely do a background check no matter what their credits are – hahaha) who will care for that heart as you journey through baring your soul naked to the world.” – Hweiling Ow
