Moments of Sunshine
In 2012, Sun Life Financial Asia embarked on a quest to celebrate the sun. The idea was to create a series of short films by renowned directors from Hong Kong, Indonesia and the Philippines, which sought to remind us all of the beauty of the sun.

Araw tells the real life story of the unique Philippines artist Jordan Mang-osan who creates breathtaking works of 'solar art', replacing paints and brushes with a simple magnifying glass. It traces his awakening as a young boy in search of his dream to find the true artist inside of him. In the end, his lessons come thanks to the kind-hearted guidance of an old master and a special 'calling' from the sun, to shine the way forward for him.
