Quote by the Director

"I love working with tactile things and I really love room for spontaneity. For instance, [in Yarlung] I'm starting with one shot: the grandma is pouring tea, and I want to move to children running. When I'm starting to erase the tea and the steam that's coming out, children's feet kind of emerge. It's almost as if I'm uncovering each new drawing as I start to erase the previous one."
-- Kunsang Kyirong (source)
