+853 is the area code of Macau and the name of my student’s gateway video project this year. Empowered to work together as one production team, they were able to realize a larger scale project. The reward for all their hard work was a big turnout from the Macau community to see their premiere at the first “Commfest” festival of student work here at the University of Macau. Their invest and this large show of community support suggests a some what unrealized potential within Macau for local productions. I hope we can do our part in the University and work together with others locally to grow this scene and industry in Macau.

So thank you to everyone who participated in the production and the first screening. And for those of you reading this that didn’t, I’ll update this post later with information on where to see it.
