Camera and directing

Documentary is my voice. Cinema is my passion. Here is a list of my film and video work.

Showreel 2021

Octoray and The Beijing Studio

I founded OcToRay in 2015 to find clearer directions for future creative and advocacy endeavours as a filmmaker and a community builder. For 3 years, this non-profit art and community space hosted various productions, rehearsals, international artist residencies, community events, film screenings and exhibitions.
