Writing

Have you ever been in a situation where decisions, outcomes and emotions seemed suspended in time - where clarity was elusive and possibilities were endless? Tell us the story of your tales of adventure, introspection, wanderlust or embracing the unknown. Theme for our January show is Up in the Air If you've got a story or just an idea, come along and pitch it for the show. If your story is shortlisted for the show, our host will work with you as you polish and rehearse it. 📌 Story Requirements: - Your story must be true - It must be told in the first person—you are the main character - It should be between 5-10 minutes You don't need to have a completed or polished story ready - just a beginning idea is okay. This workshop is open to individuals at all levels, first-timers or old hands. The purpose of Hong Kong Stories is to help you become a better storyteller. Everyone has a story to tell, and everyone loves a story well told.

Whether you are new to zero/low budget filmmaking or have worked on film sets many times, we are getting together to discuss the joys and sorrows of making films for the sheer joy and creativity of it. Join us to discuss films you like, ideas you have, or active projects that you are working on. Meet some potential collaborators and fellow enthusiasts (screenwriters, self-shooters, editors, or just enthusiastic amateurs). No experience necessary, all welcome!

Lets’s enjoy the cool weather and read al fresco! For our first book club of the year we’ll get together at the park to read our books. This will be a silent reading session so feel free to bring whatever books you’re reading. You’ll find us under the trees after passing the L shaped building in Tamar Park - the exact location link will be shared on the day (you can also look for a yellow checkered picnic blanket). Bring something to sit on, snacks and your book. **Schedule** 10:00-10:15: Say hi and briefly share something about the books we are going to read 10:15-11:15: Silent reading time 11:15-11:30: After reading chat • If you're late, please quietly join the silent reading session first. We can catch up when the session's over. :D) • You can identify the group by spotting people with a book 📕 PS: If there's a last-minute change of venue due to unforeseen circumstances, the most updated information will be posted in the event's comment section. PS2 We’re introducing a new RSVP rule for our bookclub due to recent last minute cancellations: If you change your RSVP to "No" less than 24 hours before the event or do not show up on the day, you won’t be allowed to join the next one. Of course if you have a valid reason, DM me.

## **The Illusion of Security** *Locks. Gates. Guards. Cameras. Barriers. Helmets and hard hats.The theater of safety.* This week, we’re turning our lenses toward **security — or the illusion of it.** From padlocks on gates and rolled-down corrugated steel shop doors to uniformed guards behind folding tables, this assignment is about **how we try to protect space**, and the ways that protection is performed, improvised, or quietly failing. *** ### What to Look For: * **Locks** — rusted, broken, doubled-up, or decorative. * **Chains** and padlocks, bike locks to mailboxes * **Gates** — chained, ajar, ornate, or industrial * **Surveillance cameras** and motion sensors that may or may not be working * **Security booths**, empty or occupied * **Warning signs** — “No Trespassing,” “Private,” “24hr CCTV” * **Security personnel** — formal or makeshift (vests, folding chairs, handwritten logs). Police if you dare! * **Barriers** — barbed wire, ropes, tape, fencing * **Places where security fails or is absurd** — a massive lock on a flimsy door, a sign with no gate, a guard asleep at their post This is a great chance to explore **irony, repetition, symbolism**, and how the city tries to enforce rules, and how individuals control trespassing and theft — visually and physically. *** ### Why This Matters: Security is everywhere — **visual, psychological, architectural**. But often, it’s more about **perception than protection.** We’re not here to mock or intrude. We’re here to **observe** how security is **displayed**, **layered**, and **sometimes performative**. This is about the **objects and structures** that say: *“This place is protected.”* Whether or not that protection is real… is up to the viewer. *** ### How to Approach: * Frame **contrast** — a heavy lock on a glass door, an old camera on a new building * Look for **texture** and signs of decades of weathered use. * Use **shadows or reflections** to add tension or ambiguity * Shoot both **wide for context** and **tight for detail** This could be an interesting assignment for **black-and-white shooting**, focusing on tone, texture shape, and contrast. Any camera will do, including phones and point-and-shoot. Composition is always the most important factor. *** ### Meet-Up Details: **Start:** 2:30 PM **Meeting Point: Yau Ma Tei MTR Exit A1,** Street level (by the motorcycle parking). I think this area will be good as there a lot of closed shops down Canton and Reclamation on Sundays. **Debrief:** 4:00 PM Let’s shoot for 90 minutes and meet again to talk about what we found. Reservation under Robert: LIBERTY COFFEE & WINE NO. 2 DUNDAS STREET (near Ferry Street) MONG KOK *** ### After the Walk: Post approximately **5 images** that explore this theme. If this topic really resonated and you generated even more amazing images, post more! Think about **narrative, metaphor, and contradiction.** *** **Locks can be broken.** **Barriers can be symbolic.** **Security can be an illusion.** Let’s photograph the spaces where control meets vulnerability.
