Recalling the experience in a recentScript error: No such module "Unsubst". interview, she said of director Johnnie To, "[He] basically tells actors what to do ... Johnnie wants us to come to the set with our mind completely clean, like a white piece of paper. That way, he can draw whatever he wishes on us."[1] Ho starred alongside Eason Chan in the Pang Ho-cheung directed slasher film, Dream Home.[2]
In 2009, Ho along with husband Conroy Chan, and Andrew Ooi, co-founded 852 Films, a film production company.[3]
