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.

Aside from the "Hello, Love, Goodbye" director, the participating directors include Korean director Kang Yunsung for "Within Me" and Thai director Nattawut Poonpiriya for "Zi Mui."

HKTB teamed up with CJ ENM, a top-tier entertainment company in Asia and with acclaimed directors from Thailand, the Philippines, and South Korea, to create three micro-films showcasing Hong Kong’s vibrant bar scene, authentic local lifestyle, and arts and cultural attractions to inspire visitors from around the world to come and experience Hong Kong’s new offerings.

The micro-film series has become an official selection in the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival 2023. Toss Coin, along with the two other films, will air on tvNAsia this month and on Viu starting December 11.

It will also premiere on A2Z and Kapamilya Channel in the Philippines soon.
