As Hong Kong's foremost filmmaker, Johnnie To himself becomes the protagonist of this painstaking documentary exploring him and his Boundless world of film. A film student from Beijing and avid Johnnie To fan, Ferris Lin boldly approached To with a proposal to document the master director for his graduation thesis. To agreed immediately and Lin's camera closely followed him for over two years, capturing the man behind the movies and the myths. The result is Boundless, a candid profile of one of Hong Kong's greatest directors and a heartfelt love letter to Hong Kong cinema.

Ferris Lin constructs this portrait through vérité observation rather than formal interviews, pulling back the curtain on the relentless pace and pressure of filmmaking. The documentary works with the contrast between To's calm demeanor and the chaotic energy of his sets, exploring the director's unique philosophy and collaborative spirit.
