My parents were refugees from Vietnam, and growing up Asian-Australian, I longed to see diversity on screens. I graduated with a Bachelor of Psychology in 2007 and made a sleuth of martial arts short films on the weekends that would put the community on screen.

​

After waiting a long time for the industry to change, I decided to create a female-led company in 2017 with only one camera, a tripod, and a can-do attitude, believing that change can happen one film at a time.

​

Since then, we've grown to 30+ associate artists and content creators, producing over 200+ videos, short films, feature films, promotional campaigns, exhibitions, and events across Australia and now in the USA.

​

Phoenix Eye represents creatives who may have nothing to start with; however, with courage and by using their own hands and senses, they create works that are exciting, innovative, and bring communities together.

​

The artists here are all 'doers.' Interns who come under the wing of Phoenix Eye will learn to be multi-dynamic creatives who can shoot, edit, direct, and improvise.

​

To this day, I'm still a slashie and shoot and edit a lot of projects. The team and I are very practical, and through lived experience, we gain the upper advantage and creative know-how.

​

We are all endowed with creativity, storytelling, and connection, and harmony is a part of the reason why we are here on the planet.
