32-year-old Vicky muses about her life direction while sharing scenes from her daily experience as a barista in Hong Kong.

Director Biography - Mood Infinite, Kelsey Tang

In place of candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach, Asian-American co-directors and writers (and couple), Kelsey Tang (陳玉美) and Jeffrey Wu (吴家晖), have chosen a more daring romance – balancing professional collaboration and intimacy. Together, they form “Wú Táng (吴糖).”

As the creative force behind POPEYE MEDIA, a Los Angeles-based production company, they have built a reputation by working with major record labels like Atlantic, Warner, and Columbia Records. Yet, their true passion lies in crafting sentimental stories through non-fiction documentaries.

Director Statement

As a Chinese-American filmmaker raised in the San Gabriel Valley, one of my fondest memories is wrapping up a shoot and heading to JJ Cafe, a Hong Kong-style diner. Sharing a refreshing lemon iced tea and a saucy pork chop with friends at 2 AM is a core memory for me.

So, when Kelsey and I arrived in Hong Kong, we knew we had to immerse ourselves in the source material. Dining at Tai On Coffee Shop, we met Vicky, our subject, and from there, everything fell into place.

What started as a simple conversation extended into a two-day journey with Vicky. We shadowed her on her daily commute through the bustling MTR, wandered with her through city parks where uncles lounged in the shade, and observed her dedication as she drew intricate latte art.

While Kelsey and I began our careers in the music video industry (Linkin Park, Columbia Records, Atlantic Records), our true passion lies in non-fiction storytelling—capturing real people, true stories, and their unique yet universal experiences.

As documentarians with a background in music videos, we have a deep appreciation for the abstract and the art of montage. This blend of non-linear editing with slice-of-life observation has made this project a joy to create, and we're excited to share it with your audience!
