Paul CHU
(In his words): I began my academic career dreaming of becoming an Astronaut. But my application was rejected from the Australian Royal Air Force fighter pilot for being too tall. When I struggled with the overwhelming math while studying aerospace at university, I realized my other dream - film-making. Perhaps I was always fascinated with the story of space rather than actually going there.
Seven years later, I started a production house - Gazing Element in 2010, with two close friends, and one of our very first projects was a 10-minute short documentary called “Cycling Angels”. The project evolved over the years to become a cinema release feature documentary.
