Khin Myo Myat’s family are Inntha and hail from Inle Lake in southwest Shan State in northern Myanmar. Although Khin, who is a trained nurse, had never touched a camera before joining the 2009 YFS Beginners’ course, her winning personality helped her put her young protagonist and the whole family at ease during the making of the buoyant Hey, Girl! She is also the director of Myanmar Midwife, a documentary produced by Yangon Film Services for Swiss development professional Carine Weiss about the challenges for birth attendants and maternity healthcare in rural areas.
