Listen " Dom Hopking - 1st overseas Cinematography postgraduate from Beijing Film Academy. "
Episode Synopsis
Can you imagine attending all your Master classes in Chinese?
Responding “到” (dào) when the teacher says your name during roll call?
Writing your homework and presenting your thesis exclusively in mandarin?
Well..., that’s exactly what we did!
Today, I’m thrilled to share an episode featuring Dom Hopking, the first UK Cinematography postgraduate from the Beijing Film Academy.
No matter how wild his experiences get, Dom always manages to land on his feet with charm and lovely sense of humor.
In our conversation, we delve into his journey from Edinburgh to Beijing, working as an English teacher near Wuhan, and the unexpected adventures that come with being a foreigner in China.
I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it!
