Lighting the Fire of Passion

For young filmmakers, Red Carpet is truly a major boost. The HCC team, which won second place, shared that their filmmaking journey was demanding but brought many valuable experiences. They had to reshoot the same scene dozens of times just to get one shot they were happy with. Yet it was exactly this level of rigor that helped the whole team grow, learning patience, mutual respect, and how to stand by their own artistic vision.

Đặng Minh Nam of the HCC team said: "For me personally, as someone deeply passionate about cinema who wants to contribute to Vietnamese cinema, a platform like this is a truly valuable experience."
