From Art to Film: Chen's Academic Journey

Eric Chen's journey into filmmaking is as compelling as the stories he tells. He earned both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Fine Art from the University of the Arts London before transitioning to cinema. His academic pursuits continued with two additional Master's degrees-one in Filmmaking from Kingston University and another in Film from the ArtCenter College of Design in Los Angeles, an institution known for producing industry greats such as Michael Bay and Zack Snyder.

This extensive academic background has provided Chen with a comprehensive understanding of cinematic techniques, visual composition, and narrative structure, shaping his dynamic approach to filmmaking.

Exploring Multiple Genres on an International Stage

Chen has demonstrated remarkable versatility, working across multiple genres, including drama, action, horror, thriller, documentary, and experimental film. His international exposure, spanning Canada, the UK, and the US, enriches his storytelling with a global perspective.

With a portfolio that includes 10 short films and a feature-length project, Chen's work has garnered critical acclaim, earning him four major awards:

* Best Director (Independent Shorts Awards)
* Best Drama Short (Independent Shorts Awards)
* Best Experimental Film (Los Angeles Film Awards)
* Best Experimental Film (Hollywood Screening Film Festival)

Bringing History to Life in The Cut

One of Chen's most notable works, The Cut , showcases his passion for historical narratives and meticulous research. The film earned two awards and nine nominations at festivals across the U.S., UK, Canada, France, and South Korea.

Set in the 1870s, The Cut is based on true events and follows a group of Chinese students sent to the U.S. to study Western technology under strict supervision. One student, unwilling to accept oppressive constraints, dares to defy imperial authority, risking severe punishment. The film also features Yung Wing, the first Chinese graduate of Yale University and a key advocate for the Chinese Educational Mission, whose efforts played a crucial role in a broader revolutionary movement.

Through detailed research and meticulous storytelling, Chen brings this overlooked chapter of history to life with emotional depth and striking visuals.

A Unique Approach to Storytelling

Eric Chen's filmmaking approach is deeply rooted in the belief that emotion should drive the story, followed by pacing and continuity. He prioritizes visual storytelling, ensuring that each shot contributes meaningfully to the narrative.

Inspired by directors such as Peter Jackson, Michael Bay, Zack Snyder, Johnnie To, and Akira Kurosawa, Chen values immersive cinematic experiences. He is particularly attentive to scriptwriting, especially for historical films, striving for authenticity in every detail. On set, he provides clear direction to actors, enabling them to fully express their characters' emotional arcs. His respect for his team fosters a collaborative and creative work environment.
