DoP - Xiao Ling (Jack)
Xiao Ling (Jack) is a young cinematographer from China. He was introduced to photography from an early age, and it has been one of his parts, especially with his school life. As the creative field he had worked in became diverse, he gradually turned his attention to moving images and motion pictures at the university level.
As a young man born at the crossroads of film and digital photography, he resumed his exploration of film imaging five years ago. With the combination of these factors, Xiao is particularly interested in bringing the ideas of still photography into dynamic storytelling; he also has unique insights into the appropriate imaging materials for different scenes.
Xiao's knowledge in many fields makes him the "problem-solver" and "solution-breaker" in the crew, often finding solutions when the shooting is arduous. Xiao has demonstrated his flexibility in adapting different directors' creative styles while maintaining a unique approach.

Sound Supervisor - Muge Li
Li Muge graduated from XJTLU majoring in Film and TV Production. She has worked as a producer, director, editor and sound mixer. She is now working mainly on film sound mixing.
She believes that in film, sound does not exist dependent on images. When a person is in the fetal stage, hearing is more likely to influence one's perception than vision. At the same time sound is also the presence that will be most easily overlooked. Digital audio technology can transform dynamic nature and human imagination into static quantitative signals. Film sound is the externalized manifestation of the human mind. This expression beyond the human body has attracted her to film sound production.

Sound Designer and Mixer - Ringo
Ringo is studying BA Filmmaking at SoFTA, XJTLU. “Any form of art can’t reach that complexity of life and can’t gracefully approach the density of humanity other than film.” “With the help of camera, we then become the scavengers of time.” As a young man who practice film in the era of film demise, he said “It’s at dusk but it’s not too late.” “Film is swallowed by the torrent of moving image. I really can’t figure out other ways to help but making films.” “If film is my answer to the world, then I must be yelling ‘I don’t know!’.”
