The 7th Macau International Movie Festival may have taken place in December 2015, but director/writer Jess Teong still remembers clearly how she felt when it was announced that her film The Kid From The Big Apple had won the first award of the night, for Best Writing.

“I was very calm that night because I was so sure that I would not win. Also I hadn’t eaten all day as I was busy that my sugar level was low,” Teong, 50, told Star2.com.
