BEAU HAN BRIDGE
Beau Han Bridge is a Chinese Canadian director and producer of film and theatre. In 2017, he created Midtwenties Theatre Society, a non-profit theatre company based in Vancouver, BC, to produce original plays that focus on contemporary-millennial stories and coming-of-age themes. Since then, Beau has produced several plays, short films, dance films, and graduated from Simon Fraser University's School for the contemporary Arts as a fellow film student alumnus.
As of 2021, his most recent co-directed dance film The Threshing Floor (2021), done in collaboration with respected choreographer Rob Kitsos and Composer Mauricio Pauly, is set to premiere at the 2021 Dancing on the Edge Festival in July. He is also very grateful to have been awarded a Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Canada graduate scholarship to develop an original thesis film that explores his chinese canadian roots through an interdisciplinary lens of chamber cinema and theatre scenography. He will serve as the writer and director for this work when he begins his MFA studies at York University in the fall.

Happy to announce that I have been accepted into York University's MFA Film Program in Toronto!
Very excited to announce that I will be commencing an MFA in film production this coming Fall 2021 at York University in toronto, ON! Getting a masters degree has been a dream for both me and my family, and I being able to pursue it through my love for film (and theatre of course...more on that in the near future!) is honestly a dream come true for me. I would like to send a gratitude and general thanks to the people who helped support me in my applications and art, including the professors and students at SFU School for the Contemporary Arts, my film cohort, my family, my partner, and the professional artists and workers who I have been fortunate enough to work and learn under the past two years. I will be in frequent back and forth between Vancouver and Toronto, so nevertheless stay tuned for more updates here on my new adventures and I cannot wait to make y'all proud!
Happy to announce that I am a recipient of the 2021 SFU FCAT Undergraduate Research Fellowship Award

OLD FILM WORKS OF MINE NOW AVAILABLE ON VIMEO - WATCH!
Check out several of my older shoestring film works, including my features "Ocean", "The Modern Angel Trilogy", and my adaptation of Jean Cocteau's "The Human Voice" anytime via: https://vimeo.com/beauhanbridge
Today is three years since the opening day of the first ever play I directed for Midtwenties Theatre Society called "This is Our Youth". Since then, I have been endlessly plagued by the curiosities of living and other people's stories. I owe a huge everlasting debt of my exploration in film to the precious craft of THEATRE and to celebrate a span of three incredibly creative years (which have gone by way too fast), I have decided to make several of my old film works available to view publicly on my vimeo page for free. These works shall remain open for the future and were created with an abundance of friends and collaborators who are a million times more talented than I and who I have been fortunate enough to learn from and share a moment of time with in the past. Some of these artists I am lucky to still get a chance to collaborate with or occasionally grab a beer with, and some I have sadly grown distant from overtime and will once in a while look back on in a positive light. Nevertheless, I owe my artistic drive and heart to all of these people, and so I hope that - like me - you may get a chance to watch their glow, which I have tried (and shall continue to try) my best to capture through lens, stage, and montage. Please enjoy and cheers to the next three-years, and to the new works that shall ensue. <3
