Do you ever feel like you’re holding on for dear life, only to realise that you’re not really sure of what you were grasping so tightly to in the first place?
Learning to let go is a journey of selfdiscovery. At first, it's scary to lose something dear, as if a part of you is slipping away. But as you embrace the release, you find freedom and a sense of bravery too. It's about accepting life's changes and challenges, knowing that what stays will find a way, and what comes will paint new colours in your life.
Once you master letting go, you'll feel lighter, allowing space for acceptance, balance, and peace.
Filmed in Singapore.

In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle childlike curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth – that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.
