Exciting graduate news from Hong Kong as film director, Vicky Wong Wai-Kit, who graduated in 2006 from the Filmmaking Diploma has won Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing for his edgy crime thriller, Trivisa (2016).
'Trivisa' was co-directed with two other up-and-coming directors, Frank Hui and Jevons Au, and produced and nurtured by acclaimed Hong Kong auteur, Johnnie To. Each director was given one of the film’s three main characters — gangsters planning a job in Hong Kong—to flesh out and film. The stories were then woven into a seamless whole, resulting in a feature that has proved a hit at the local box-office, premiering at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival and winning a string of awards, including best original screenplay and best editing at the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan.
