Support Jean's work

Jean Leung chairs the South Lantau Buffalo Society (嶼南水牛學會), the volunteer group behind her daily care of Lantau's free-roaming water buffalo. These gifts go straight to the Society. The film doesn't receive any of it, and they aren't tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor.

Licensing fees vary by geographical location and audience size, and if the fee doesn't fit your budget, just ask: we're happy to be flexible. We'll reply within 3 business days with your fee and our Screening Guide. Many hosts cover the fee with ticket sales or a local sponsor, and anything raised beyond it is yours to keep or give to a cause you choose. Tax-deductible donations are accepted via our fiscal sponsor, the IDA.

Other ways to help

Sponsor the project

Underwrite a screening, or help cover what it takes to finish the film and get it distributed: subtitles, color grade, original score, marketing, and festival fees.

Make an introduction

Know someone at a festival, distributor, broadcaster or school? Or a group near you that should see the film? A warm introduction goes a long way.

Lend your skills

Translation, design, photography, social media, local press contacts, a venue. This is an independent project and we'll happily accept any assistance you can offer!
