Trailers, documentaries, branded and social video — Taipei, since 2007.
I don't stop at a clean cut. I want to know what the film is meant to achieve — and whether it did.

About

These days I work end to end — concept, script, producing, directing and post — mostly on short-form and social video for brands and agencies. I work closely with marketing teams, and I'll ask what a film is for before I ask what it should look like.

I've been in film and video since 2007. I started in theatrical trailers and advertising, cutting trailers for over a hundred Taiwanese and international releases. From 2019 to 2025 I was an editor at Mirror TV, responsible for both the cut and the post-production pipeline on broadcast documentaries.
