MARIE TOH
This is Kai.
Nor does he believe Santa is real.
He does not like the smell of turkey.
But he loves to watch ants carry food ten times bigger than themselves back to their nest.
even if no one else could see it.
Marie Toh is a visual storyteller from Singapore. This story was based on her graduation film with the same title that has won many local and international short film awards.
