  • Note
    My name is Dylan Yap and I am a recent animation graduate of BCFE. I am an Irish/Chinese filmmaker who has previously directed other student animation films in the past. I have always been inspired by the bi-cultural environment I grew up in as I feel it is an interesting topic to explore in animation. Working on my film through the covid pandemic was tough but rewarding. So I am excited about my future moving forward in the animation industry. I hope that the short film is an enjoyable and amusing watch."
