Summary

I completed my Bachelor's degree in Screen Arts at Unitec. Originally from China, I made the move to New Zealand for my studies, adding a rich tapestry of experiences to my life. My focus is on camera and lighting within the film industry. You'll often find me on film sets, taking on roles like Director of Photography (DOP), Gaffer, 1st AC, 2nd AC, and lighting assistance.
