About me

"Amidst the noise, I find my peace.
Almost like warmth, not visible but can be felt.
And through my glances , beauty seems to be ubiquitous.
Light is my element, textures are my tools and darkness my eternal ally.
Through moving images I strive to convey the purest emotions."

At age nine, I already harboured the ambition to be a filmmaker. This particular aspiration had stemmed from my peculiar habit of watching my favourite movies over and over again, each day for a month. Soon this habit became my ambition and it has been my craft ever since. Through my films I hone my skills, improve my craft and develop my natural intuition as a director / cinematographer.

I graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts(Honours) in Film and Television in 2021. Throughout my four years there I held 2 scholarships and made the Dean' list each year.

In 2013, my film Hong Gan won Best International and the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Student Short Film Festival, since then my other works have been screened at multiple international film festivals across the globe. Furthermore I expanded my professional work experience to Hong Kong ,Taiwan and looking forward to even more places. I was part of the Creative Media Studio at Hong Kong Ballet which focused on transmedia storytelling to help promote the brand.

I am now based in Hong Kong as a director/ cinematographer and available to work worldwide.
