The Lyricist Wannabe

What is life without a dream, even if it may well be the bumpiest of roads?

Uniquely talented high-school student Law Wing-sze (Chung Suet Ying), who believes that writing Cantopop is her God-given talent, is determined to pursue her dreams and make a name for herself.

Yet, as hard as Sze tries to refine her lyric writing skills, handle rejection and draw inspiration from her personal experiences, nothing seems to go her way.

Despite a series of failures, she’s not one for giving up on following her heart.

Directed by Norris Wong (My Prince Edward), The Lyricist Wannabe is a heartfelt tribute to Cantonese lyrics writing and the timeless musicality of Hong Kong, whilst offering universal insights into the pursuit of one’s dreams during youth.

The film has been nominated for two 2023 Golden Horse Awards - Best Actress & Best Adapted Screenplay and for three upcoming 2024 Hong Kong Film Awards - Best Actress, Best Original Film Score & Best Original Film Song.
