2017 FilmConvert Film Competition: Kung Fu Journey

My documentary directorial debut film Kung Fu Journey has been selected in this year's FilmConvert Color Up Film Competition under the Documentary category.

Kung Fu Journey tells the story of a Kung Fu Master in Beijing who travels back to the legendary Shaolin Temple and to Tagou Martial Arts School, one of the largest martial arts school in China, with his young Kung Fu students to further their training and deepen their knowledge of Chinese martial arts. It was directed, shot and edited by me.

Having a break from filming. With some of the young Shaolin Kungfu students at Shaolin temple. #wanderlust #filming #travel #director #documentary #behindthescenes #bts #travelgram #henan #dengfeng #pagoda #instatravel #instapassport #makingof #onlocation #shaolin #kungfu #shaolintemple #shoot
