actor, filmmaker, playwright
Hi! My name is Beau and I am a Chinese Canadian Filmmaker, Playwright, and Actor. My work blurs the line between film and theatre to explore identity, intimacy, and memory. I graduated from York University’s MFA Film Production program (MFA’ 2023) and the York Centre for Asian Research (GD 2023), and I am also an alumnus of Simon Fraser University’s School for the Contemporary Arts (BA’ 2016)
As the founder of Midtwenties Productions, I have produced seven stage plays, including three original full-length works I wrote myself (Above the Hospital, Molly Misbegotten, Persephone’s Cave) and bold new adaptations of classics such as This Is Our Youth, The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant, and Yukio Mishima’s Two Modern Noh Plays. My plays have been seen in Vancouver, Toronto, and New York, earning recognition such as the Joanna Maratta Award at the Vancouver Fringe Festival, and best experimental work at New York City Fringe. As a filmmaker, my short films have screened internationally at festivals including Beijing, Oslo, Vancouver, and San Diego, and often draw from stylistic affinities to anime, psychological thrillers, and handheld adolescent/romance films. I love to craft stories where romance, obsession, and art collide, and I am driven by a fascination with how we remember and remake ourselves through performance and interior spaces.
In case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight!
