Biography

Born in Vietnam in 1990, his interest in cinema began as a little boy looking through the small window of his house by the river in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City. He later learnt about cinema by watching foreign language films on his computer and became a cinephile. When he was 20, he borrowed an old camera and made his first short film. His short films Coal and Scent were shot in the area where he grew up. Vị (Taste), his debut feature film, won the Special Jury Award, Encounters Competition, at the Berlin International Film Festival 2021.
