Failing is not something to be scared of. You will eventually get to somewhere you enjoy and where you are considered to be successful.
Emerging as a new star in showbiz, Neo Yau is taking baby steps towards his dreams of acting and playwriting. After graduating from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA), he and his partners started off establishing the group Mocking Jer whose first production gained over 100 thousand views online in just a few weeks’ time. The two local movies, ‘For Love, We Can’ and ‘She Remembers, He Forgets’, boosted his fame among the Hong Kong audience and have earned him recognition. As a movie lover, Neo has been indulging in movie appreciation and production since his childhood. His urge to perform and his belief in local production are his greatest motivation and drive in his acting and script-writing career. With Stanley Kubrick as his favorite director back in the days in HKAPA, Neo believes that imitation is at the root of improving performance.
