I am Zhan Xiao, a Chinese filmmaker based in London.

​

I pay more attention to recording the bits and pieces of life during filming. This allows me to develop a good habit of daily shooting. There is no deliberate lens design, no script lines arranged in advance, and I am good at discovering the beautiful things in life. Accidents encountered in life often surprise me, I slow down my life rhythm to feel each lived moment. ​

​

I have directed and produced "I come from the fog" My first director's feature film, Award of the Best Student Film in Hong Kong World Film Festival 2021 ;

My first personal documentary"Kent or Cant", The official selection in The London International Smartphone Film Festival 2021.

​

And I am currently developing a documentary project which I explore the Human Experience and Emotions in Film, focusing on Companionship, which contains growing up, caring, communicating,

being alone under the pandemic.
