My Film Production Experience

Since 2015, I teach documentary film production to students at the Beijing Film Academy, Qingdao campus, China. I also mentor anyone who is interested in learning documentary production skills.

With 20 years experience and creation, I know what it takes to get started and keep the momentum going to get to the finishing line. The finishing line means the public, whoever that public are: friends, family, festivals, online platforms, theatrical release.

All you need in the beginning is the desire and the passion to tell a story, throw caution to the winds, and use this time we have been given, in our confinement, to create.
