About

johnbao.ca

A multi-faceted storyteller and filmmaker with a specialisation in screenwriting, storyboarding, and film editing. Varied background in capturing rich stories from drama to documentary, using various cinematic and narrative techniques to capture audiences.

Having worked on small teams, I’ve had to occupy multiple roles simultaneously, which also requires me to be agile. Because of this experience, I have a holistic perspective when it comes to filmmaking, paying close attention to details at every stage.
