“ADFEST is
one of the most respected award shows in the region. So it’s an honour to be
Jury President, especially in a year when we have sadly lost co-founder, friend
and one the industry greats, Jimmy Lam. I look forward to meeting my fellow
jury members and celebrating those rare, fresh ideas that force their way to
the top. For Jimmy.” says Chan.
