“I want to make a movie that everybody in the world would want to see.
To inject a light into their minds and pass on the message that there's always a hope in our little lives.”
- Kitz Tan

POSSESS THE RIGHT ATTITUDE. Enthusiastic, passionate, self-motivated, organized and have initiative. Used to be a TV-maniac since young. Practically doing everything in front of the TV screen except showering. Still doing it, but in front of three screens now...

BELIEVING IN THE CUTS NOT THE MACHINES. More than twelve years of extensive experience in selecting shots, structuring storyline, cutting to the pace of shots itself or to the rhythms of music on various non-linear editing machines. Strictly no button pushing. Contemporary and old-fashioned cutting-edge motivates by the passion in story telling while the 'outside the box' editing style is the decoration part of the basic story. Be it continuity. Be it a jump cut!

JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES. Although 'Seeing is believing', audio plays its role in enhancing the emotional impacts of the visuals. Experienced in sound editing and effects: cutting and mixing music tracks, voice over and sound effects on non-linear editing machines and audio software.

Not a genius in languages, but can speak and write English, Chinese and Malay. Also, understand other Chinese dialects: Cantonese, Taiwanese, etc. Learning Thai & Spanish.

WAR STORY. Spotted by a film director from a commercial shoot in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia when I was still an advertising school student. He 'bought' me out from my scholarship sponsor and wanted to train me as a producer in his production house, but I ended up 'playing with' Lightworks in his editing room.

After freelancing in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, China for the past seven years and winning an award from Discovery Channel’s First Time Filmmaker, I have embarked on a new journey preparing for my debut film project.
