「美国亚裔国际电影节映示了美国最优秀的亚裔电影。很高兴Have A Nice Day被选为影展放映作品其一。我在纽约遇到不少亚裔电影人，他们都在不同层面上启发了我。由於我的短片电影是关於香港的少数种裔，而且大多数亚洲人是美国的新移民，因此这些电影人都非常明了镜头下的故事。影展除了放映作品，亦准备了很多活动，好让所有电影人可以互相认识和了解。更不用説这个城市充满多少艺术活动，博物馆和艺术电影院。我非常享受这次旅程，令我感到意外的是，这次电影节也吸引了不少亚洲观衆来到纽约参加影展。在这次旅程中，我认识了许多住在美国的亚洲人，例如一位移民到纽约已有五十年的老年女士。从他们身上我更加了解到这个国家，也明白到亚洲人在通往电影业成功之路的辛酸。」

「Jahorina Film Festival was fun overall, most of the films and filmmakers are from Balkans district, which is very special for me. The festival organised different networking events and cultural tours for filmmakers were beneficial in terms of cultural exchange. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a very beautiful country with very complicated history, we even visited Sarajevo, which experienced siege 25 years ago. I had a lot of discussions with people from Serbia, Russia, etc. I am glad that they liked my film very much. They found the story about the immigrant family very moving. They also invited me to show my short films in their countries. Some of them even proposed to co-produce documentary.

Most of the films and filmmakers at the festival were from Balkans district, which was very special for me. The four-day trip was too short for me to know the country thoroughly, but the people in the town and staff from the festival were really friendly and helpful. Last but not the least, I would like to thank the jury panel for awarding me the Special Award, this is the first award this film ever received!」
