“Guang” is a short film which follows the life of Wen Guang, a young man with autism and attention deficiency disorder who struggles with social interaction and has difficulties committing to day-today obligations but who also possesses a hidden and very spectacular talent in musical harmony. The short film earned significant acclaim from the BMW Shorties 2011 panel of judges who aside from selecting it as the competition winner, granted the short film the award for Best Screenplay and the short film’s starring actor Chen Chong Wei with the award for Best Actor.
