Hi, I'm Shane Chung! I write, direct, produce, shoot and edit, and I hope you can join me in my journey in making and doing everything.
I work on set for projects for everything ranging from narrative to corporate. I have accrued a wealth of production knowledge in every part of the pipeline, and excel at production coordination, on-set improvisation and being a swiss-army-man crew member on small and nimble sets. If there's a project you think would be a good fit for me, feel free to reach out cuz I'd love to work with you!
(Also, despite what my hat says, I'm actually a Leo.)
