About
Hui is a freelance filmmaker, graduating from London Film School in 2020. She is a dedicated worker, a DIY lover, and a joyful traveller. After graduating with a master’s degree majoring in Communication from Communication University of China, Hui worked for years as a producer and director in China. The job brought her chances to observe and feel inner motivation and emotional flows of various people, which spurred her enthusiasm of telling stories and pursue further study in London Film School.
In the past two years, Hui worked mostly in the art department. Her previous working experience helps her to obtain a deeper understanding into each character, present a better illustration of their background stories, and deliver these by space, colour, and props, therefore building a unique construction of the world within a film.

Hui considers film as a way to convey knowledge, to present imagination, and to explore the world. Therefore, she devotes herself to film directing and production designing, which is directly connected with visualization of the script. Her work focuses on how people suffer from and react to inevitable hardships or enjoy delightful experience in their lives. Working as a former documentary producer and director for 7 years, she carefully observed details in the life, gained deep insight into life and empathy for people. So far, Hui has worked as a director and a production designer on different types of short films, including realism, period drama, surrealism, and sci-fi. She is confident and familiar with making realism films, as well as having completed impressive work in sci-fi shorts. Hui is also very interested in fantasies and hopes will have a chance to work on one of them in the future. Open to any potential chances, she would like to try different approaches and accept the challenge.
