Timekeeper 時 • 分 at NTU ADM Portfolio

Timekeeper (時 • 分) is a short film about the chanced meeting of Hock and Anna. Hock, a retired watchmaker, enjoys collecting obsolete objects because he treasures the value in them. When 11-year-old Anna visits Hock’s quirky shop house by surprise, an affinity is quickly formed between the pair as Hock reminisces and shares his past. Revisiting Hock’s memory lane, they discover about a memento that connects them together.


Boys Don't Dance at NTU ADM Portfolio

Boys Don’t Dance is a narrative film that both questions and celebrates the right of individuality in a conformist and homophobic society through the eyes of a queer boy named Ono.

Ono aspires to be a ballet dancer but it is quite impossible in his society. He is in love with one of his school’s athletes, Ryan, who is in love with him back but doesn’t want to be found out. One day, after getting beaten up by Ryan’s teammates, Ono falls into another world and meets a group of circus performers who show him that he can be whoever he wants to be.
