Pitch'When pureness and simplicity take us for a journey, dare you jump for an adventure and how far it will bring us to?'Director's notesLast year, I went to Yunnan alone for taking a break. By chance, I discovered a rural village where I met a Naxi old lady, Nanny Liu. Nanny Liu invited me to her house and asked me to read letters for her because she doesn't understand Chinese writing. We shared a nice afternoon together embraced by serenity and peace. The images of this beautiful moment crossed my mind more and more often until one day, I decided to write a story about this beautiful encounter and the Dongba culture.The most beautiful thing in the world is the pureness and simplicity in nature, life and relationship. I hope our audiences can feel this beauty throughout the film and start to cherish what they have around them. A simple little thing becomes precious if we appreciate it. That's the motto of Naxi people. Let's switch off our mobile and start to appreciate the “richness of nature and simple life”. Another implicit meaning of this movie is about dream and goal. When we chase for our dreams, sometimes we get lost or sometimes even abandoned by our companions. The path of chasing dreams is actually very lonely... However, keeping faith in our sincere dream can make this long and difficult path unforgettable for our whole life.
