What an incredible honor. To even be considered for best actor at Short Shorts Film Festival is beyond my wildest expectations. To win the award at such a high-class festival is beyond my most gracious words. I want to deeply and sincerely thank everyone at Short Shorts for the tireless, hard work they've put into this amazing festival. Work that has made their program one of the best in the world. From Aki, to Seigo, to all the volunteers and staff, to the people of Tokyo: I truly appreciate your generosity, your humility and your graciousness. You have all made my trip and this festival one of the greatest experiences in this humble actor's life. To FRED of Paris, merci beaucoup pour le beau bracelet et du prix, I will wear the jewelry and display the award proudly. And finally, Thank you to Peter Besson, my director, for without his words and direction, this great honor would not have been bestowed unto me. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all.

I am so surprised that I have won the Best Actress Award of SSFF. It is my first honor in my career. When I arrived at Tokyo, I thought that it was a good chance for me to be a part of the festival. The director of our short film, Jiang Xuan was not able to attend the festival, so I represented our production crew. I was so relaxed ,just attended the Q&A session and the ceremony. Until the night of the ceremony. I was so excited. Thanks for the producer, director of <August 15>. The honor belongs to everyone in the team. Thanks for SSFF! Thanks for your guys ! I hope I can come back and attend the SSFF with my new movie!
