What motivated you to join this year's 3 Shots Film Fest?
I was inspired by the entries of the 3 shots film last year. It was so encouraging how the directors utilize the three shot rule to create a masterpiece. With this limitation, more stories will be unraveled. Through that, I can't stop to admire their films and hope that one day, I could also join.
