Feeding The Future

Date: October 2023

With inflation and rising costs of living, what keeps a secondary school canteen vendor from choosing a more lucrative location?

FEEDING THE FUTURE follows Lille Tien, a stall vendor at CHIJ Katong Convent. Despite working there for almost 10 years, and all the hard work, she doesn’t see herself changing careers anytime soon.

Focused on an emotional perspective, the film aims to bring to light the story of Lille. Why she chose this path, and the noble reasons she continues this career.

As this was an individual project, I took the opportunity of exploring something that was personal to me. I’ve always had great admiration for people who choose careers for the benefits of others.

With FEEDING THE FUTURE, I had the creative freedom to dive into an individual whose job may be long forgotten in our memories of when we were younger.
