City University of Hong Kong

We produced the 2025 freshmen documentary for City University of Hong Kong (Dongguan), following four students from different provinces as they left home, crossed cities, and arrived on campus. The film turns a recruitment message into a real human story about family, transition, and the first step into university life.
