Skill is cultivated through meticulous practice, and obsession stems from a deep desire to know more about the world around oneself.

Shortly following their graduation, Drew de Silva went on to co-found Critcap Labs, a cultural design lab devoted to experimentation and play as work. Their film Catch the Sunrise has been screened at local film festivals such as Agenda 14 and international ones such as fuse.
