Doris Wong is a filmmaker whose work has been critically acclaimed at film festivals worldwide.

Journey was part of the Short Film Palme d’Or & Short Film Corner at the 67th Festival de Cannes, and won the Best Director Award for Short Dramatic Film at the 11th Global Chinese Universities Student Film and TV Festival in Hong Kong in 2014. The film also won multiple student film prizes in 2013 in China, Hong Kong, Russia and South Korea. Wong has a number of other short films to her name, such as Lonely Apartment (2008), a quiet depiction of the unusual attraction between a young gay couple and a female realtor, and Words (2011), a love story of silent communication across train platforms, to name a few.
