London: questions
Have you filmed in London before?
Not yet for a project on this site, but I work across the region, for example Coke Studio - XIN LIU x Ofenbach "REAL LIFE" and The Black Box, and I would love to shoot in London.
Can you put a crew together in London?
Usually I partner with a local production company and crew in London, and bring my own key people when the project needs it. That keeps costs sensible and the shoot running smoothly.
Do you direct music videos in London?
Yes, I direct music videos across Asia, Europe and the US, for example Coke Studio - XIN LIU x Ofenbach "REAL LIFE" and Music Video Frades and Sika "Autour D'un verre". None on this site was shot in London yet, and I would love to direct one there.
