Tayyaba Begum is a third-year student at Goldsmiths University of London, studying media and communication. 
​
Similar to many young adults in their last year of education, she doesn’t know which path to walk down. Having passions in storytelling, filmmaking and illustration she doesn’t want to limit herself to one media profession.
​
Therefore, confronted with a multitude of choices, she came up with the idea for this film, as she believed her team of friends could create something relatable and light-hearted. During her studies she demonstrated a various range of techniques that made her film unique. 
Yangfan Shen is a third-year student at Goldsmiths University of London, studying media and communication. 
​
Whether it’s on campus or during her free time, you’ll always find Yangfan behind the camera. Her main interests revolve around the visual arts as in her time at university, she was able to explore the versatility of cinematography and animation. Her eye for seeing things has landed her into taking professional photographs of cosplayers at comic con and edit animations for commissions.
 Taking on the role for camera and lead editor, she was able to experiment with visual effects and convey the deeper meaning behind them. She believes the fast pace editing style references the fast-paced culture of consumerism and digital videos found on social media.
Jiayi Gao is a third-year student at Goldsmiths University of London, studying media and communication. 
​
Lily’s friendly and go- lucky attitude allows her to get along with anyone. During her time in Goldsmiths she was able to develop her interpersonal skills that aided her in securing actors and locations for the film.
Her love for travelling to different countries and organising events made her the perfect candidate for the producer role, as she constantly keeps her team in check, ensuring they work efficiently and to the best of their ability. Through out the project Lily was in charge of paperwork, this covers noting down prices, key audio files and emailing casts, this produced a steady and smooth work flow.
