The Tinted Bloom is an intimate, personal short film project in express my feeling and journey of healing as a survivor of school sexual harassment, assault happened when I was 14 years-old. The intention on creating this short film is to share my story, to reconcile with trauma, self-forgiveness, retrieve the peacefulness within; which is one of the reason I decided to filmed it back in Taiwan, revisited the school after 16 years, seeing the places where the event took place and tried to filmed around. Is emotional, traumatising but I am glad I finally got the courage to face it. I’m hoping by sharing my story through the lens of visual storytelling will give more survivor the courage to open up, come forward, seek help and use their voice to make noise for this long-standing issue of gender inequality in any way possible. Only by sharing our stories, there is the possibility of improvement, silence is not a golden getaway and don’t let the victims around you be silent.
