His second film, "Little People Big Dreams", about a little people theme park in China, was regional broadcaster Channel NewsAsia's first original feature film production. The documentary was selected for the Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program | CNEX Workshop and Documentary Summit 2014, and won the Best Pitch Award at CNEX Chinese Doc Forum 2014. It made its world premiere at the acclaimed CPH:DOX Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival 2014, who wrote, "A touching film that in virtue of its sensitivity is a rebellion against a world where such a place actually exists." The film was in competition at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2015, won the Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary Feature at the Lighthouse International Film Festival 2015, Best Social Awareness Programme at the Asian Television Awards 2015, and a Gold World Medal for Documentaries at the New York Festivals Television and Film Awards 2016. Gary Arnold, President of Little People of America, wrote, "The beauty of Little People Big Dreams is that it shines a light on the dwarf theme park in China, and it lets the dwarf performers tell their own story, and it allows viewers to reach their own conclusion about the theme park."
