The Director's Lens: Lawrence Lai
Lawrence Lai, a co-founder of Atelier Stasis, is an alumnus of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, School of Film and Television, where he majored in Directing. His diverse body of work ranges from fictional shorts to television series. His graduation project, "Being" (2011), garnered critical acclaim, winning the "Golden Award" at the 4th Short circuit Student Film festival, "Best Fiction" at the Hangzhou Asian Film Festival, and "Outstanding Experimental Film Award" at the 9th Global Chinese Universities Student Film and Television Festival. It was also selected for multiple international film festivals. Lawrence's journey continued with the creation of "The Flauner" (2012) and "Go" (2015), the latter winning "Best Performance - Direction" by Web Audiences’ Choice.
Venturing into television, Lawrence directed the 45-minute TV drama "Being on the Island" for RTHK. His exploration of existential themes then expanded to the digital realm with short documentaries for HK01's Hong Kong Realism column. At Atelier Stasis, Lawrence continues to question our existence while seeking new media frontiers and honing his storytelling craft.
The Storyteller's Eye: Sam Yip
