Amanda Zhou Instagram – #fridaythoughts To see so may of us come together and celebrate was amazing. Thank you @reelasian for having all of us! This is something that inspires me and I continuously see how patience is everything. On a side note, I went to a panel and heard a filmmaker say: “there is enough of bad things, let’s focus on the good”. This resonated with me because we all have our traumas, we are all trying to make it as individuals, yet the irony of it, I believe anyway is that we should support each other and put everything else aside whatever that may be. After many conversations I see the recurring theme of fear to be misunderstood and a wish to be great. That’s why I love this time of the year at the Toronto International Festival and being on set, because the focus is on the work and on celebrating others that goes beyond just creators but from human beings outside our field who celebrate film and art, which leads me back to: just showing up, being curious and supportive. . . #patience #trustyourjourney #filmmakers #tiff19 #asianreelfilmfestival #whoyouarematters #walkthetalk #bekind #actorslife #filmmakerslife #noonesperfect #positivethoughts #noroomfornegativity
