Leung studied economics, but his true calling is in film. He started as an apprentice under acclaimed director Chueng Chi-leung Jacob. His short The Captive and the Fugitive (2019) tells the story of a couple who make a film that doesn’t follow conventions. The latest work, Save My Soul (2023) – winner of the Eye Catcher Global 2023 International Pitching Forum Jury Award – depicts the transformation of a mute person due to loneliness.
