I’m a London-based filmmaker, photographer and writer from Hong Kong. I started out as a travel photographer at 18, spending the next seven years roaming through 60+ countries, occasionally staying long enough to call somewhere home. I’ve lived in places like Pakistan, Greece, Afghanistan, and found that the best stories often come from getting lost, staying curious and seeing the world beyond the usual headlines.
Between the ages of 19 and 21, I hitchhiked solo from Iran to France, cycled across Central Asia, and spent 19 days trekking through Afghanistan’s Wakhan Corridor with a rented donkey carrying my gear. Somewhere along the way, I picked up a camera, a few questionable survival skills and a lasting fascination with people and the stories they carry.
In late 2022, I settled in London and began making the leap from still photography to filmmaking, with a particular interest in screenwriting and directing. My work explores identity, resilience and the messier sides of being human, often through stories centred on women and lived experiences that don’t always make it onto the screen.
I’m an alumna of Locarno Film Festival’s BaseCamp Residency and hold an MA in Filmmaking from the London Film School. I also founded 25th House Productions, an independent production company dedicated to telling stories that are a little bold, a little tender, and hopefully worth staying up for.
