    I am for contradiction.

    Guard your heart with all vigilance.

     

     

    Hey there! I'm a curious, ambitious, and hardworking Taiwanese, based in Bristol/London/West-England.

     

    I graduated from the Film and Television MA at the University of Bristol.

    I've got loads of experience in directing, photography and camera operation (Sony a73, DJI mini3 Pro, GoPro, ZoomH1N, Black Magic), editing, as well as acting and screenwriting. 

     

    I've even won several prizes, including Best Short Film, Best Documentary, and Best Advertisement.

    Btw, even though my website's style is kinda dark, I'm actually a super positive person! :) Can't wait to meet you!

    Have a fantastic day, every day!
