Jessey Tsang Tsui Shan 曾翠珊
Biography
Jessey Tsang studied sound design at the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts’s School of Film and Television before she entered the MFA program in Media Design and Technology at the City University of Hong Kong. After graduating in 2005, she worked towards realizing her first feature film project – the indie production Lovers on the Road (2008). The film follows a young girl (Joman Chiang) from Hong Kong who moves to Beijing in order to be with her boyfriend (Dick So). Once there, however, she finds their relationship strained, and she begins to prefer the company of a Japanese traveler (Masanobu Otsuka) whom she meets by chance. The film made effective use of its Beijing locations, and critics reacted positively to its refreshingly low-key aesthetic and the understated performances of the principals. To admirers of the film, Tsang seemed to offer an honest and unaffected portrait of youth free from the glamour and trappings of the commercial film industry, and her talent was quickly noted.
