Sonny Poon Tip

Season 5 Winner

Our season culminated in an unforgettable awards ceremony on February 18, 2026, in Soho, London, where we crowned Sonny as our winner for his film Morning, Glory. Currently, Sonny is in discussions with the TFF team about bringing his feature film to life—an exciting next step following his well-deserved win.

Morning, Glory

Written & Directed By: Sonny Poon Tip

Fresh faced Drew (20s) walks into his local coffee shop. Today, there’s an unusual spring in his step and Drew dons a smug grin that coffee shop owner Lydia (50s) can’t miss. As she pushes him for the details behind his boyish smirk, we snap back 24 hours to find out for ourselves.

It’s the day before, and Drew stands again across from Lydia. However it’s clear now that Drew is in fact a homeless young man. Worn out and tired, we see fragments of Drew’s daily reality; survival and struggle on the streets of London, forced into isolation by a judgmental society. That is until Drew finds himself suddenly at the right place, right time and gets his hands on a forgotten gym bag containing everything he needs to give himself a refresh. This kicks off a chain of events that lead to Drew having one of the best days he’s had in a while, including a stint in the pub, an encounter with Molly (20s), a hot shower, and a warm bed for the night.

MORNING, GLORY is a heartwarming story of how one small break in life can feel like it turns everything around, and the sun shines brighter even just for a little bit. It also aims to hold up an important mirror to society on how homeless people are perceived, or not perceived, based off of appearance and stereotype.
