I believe that music is something that can be understood universally. It fills in the gaps where language fails and that is why it is one of my main passions. 

My documentary explores different aspects of music in Lanzhou and in China. I was interested in meeting a band that was unique to Lanzhou. A band who understood the city through its sounds. I was also interested in exploring the state of music in China, but specifically in Lanzhou. I understand that Lanzhou is a city much like any other modern Chinese city. The city is like a rebellious teenager who wants to break out of their traditional roots and take on a new shell.
