HKTB presents Hong Kong in the Lens by Asian Directors

All it takes is one coin flip and one lie, and it leads Riah down a memory lane of her ex-boyfriend in Hong Kong. She revisits all their special places, hoping to bump into him again and to rekindle their love.

But will this lead her back to him or the beginning of anew journey? Alexa Ilacad is top blogger Riah at "Toss Coin." Together with reel partner KD Estrada, the story visited many local cultural points of interest in Hong Kong including M+ in West Kowloon Cultural District, murals in Sai Kung, Hong Kong Museum of Art, and PMQ in Central, exhibiting the city’s unique cultural aura.

Toss Coin is award-winning Filipino director Cathy Garcia-Sampana's first micro-film and one of the three Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB's) micro-film series titled Hong Kong in the Lens by Asian Directors.
