自小就醉心電影的Ivan，中五時開始拍攝短片，立志讀電影。高考後與友人一起報讀台灣一所大學的電影系，惜雙雙未獲取錄，其後二人各奔前程：朋友再接再厲投考該校，終得償夙願，畢業後還當上導演；Ivan也沒有放棄理想，他繼續找相關的工作，曾任張虹導演的攝影師助理，拍了《中學》及《七一》兩齣紀錄片。其後又在一間製片公司當助理，拍攝商業廣告。經過兩年的努力，他漸建立自己職涯歷程檔案，成功考進城大的創意媒體系，延續他的夢想。

初時，Ivan以為在大學只會專注學習拍攝技巧，但他在創意媒體課程所獲得的知識，卻超過所想所求。「除了有關錄像製作及編輯，我也涉獵了現代藝術、互動媒體等範疇，擴闊了我的視野。」他續道：「當時我修讀了紀錄片一科，拍了兩齣短片，導師覺得我表現不俗，就邀請我一起到馬來西亞拍攝一個有關建築的特輯。那是一個很難忘的工作旅程，令我體驗良多，大開眼界。」他很感激當年的湯美如老師不吝賜教，讓他能作多方面的嘗試和發揮。「其實我系的同學有不少類似的機會。城大歷年培育眾多跨媒體專才，在業界很有聲望，很多媒體公司如欲招募實習生，也會優先考慮城大創意媒體的學生。」

「當年我班人數不多，但學習氣氛很融洽。我們不單只負責執導自己的作品，也會參與別的同學的創作。放映時同學們都很激動，因為每一齣短片都是大家携手合作的成果，蘊含著自己的心血，盛載著一群人的熱誠。」

畢業後，Ivan曾協助學姊麥曦茵當其電影《烈日當空》的場記。現時Ivan在一間節目製作公司任職經理，有時要到外地工作，真箇戎馬倥傯。然而即使多忙，他也不忘回饋母校。最近他應學弟學妹之邀回城大參與他們的畢業作品製作：「在社會工作漸久，終日忙裡忙外。回歸校園與一群年青人合作，重拾自己昔日的衝勁和熱誠，是一件很令人滿足的事。就如從前一些前輩也毫不計較的幫助我們一樣，薪火相傳，很有意思。」

Ivan鼓勵城大的同學不要有太多前設，規限自己要些什麼。反而要開放自己，接觸新的人和事，可能有更多意外收獲。

Ivan 樂於回母校幫助學弟學妹製作畢業作品，並且非常享受其中。

CityU exchange students visiting Australia received a warm welcome from alumni when they arrived in March.  One of the alumni mentors in Sydney, Ms Yoyo Lui, took them on an outing to the scenic Blue Mountains for a great adventure to see a vast and spectacular world heritage landscape. Now the students know there’s much more to Sydney than the Opera House and great restaurants!
