My guest on this week’s episode is HanXiong Bo who wrote, directed and produced his latest short film Drifting (2019), which tells the story of a young man struggling with his gender identity after being raised as a girl in China. Drifting premiered at the San Sebastian Film Festival in 2019 and was nominated for the best short film award at the festival and was a semi-finalist at the 2019 Student Academy Awards.

We jumped into HanXiong's experience being a Maths student in Beijing and making his first no-budget zombie short film City of The Dead (2012), how he found his filmmaking voice studying at UCLA and what it was like working as a camera operator for one of American cinema’s most celebrated film auteur's Francis Ford Coppola.
