We have very limited budget in this production. The award reminds us to be humble, continue to work hard and produce movies with heart and courage." Speaking on the way in he said: SOUNDBITE Executive producer, Andrew Choi, saying (English): "I think the most important thing is Hong Kong people will concern about the future.
