  Switch OnMy final year uni grad film. A film about anxiety and the complex nature of our education system and institutions. This is a film I wrote, directed and edited, was helped along the way by so many people (BFI, Pictureshop and crew of course). Here is a cool poster for it.

  WALOR exhibition video.Was asked by Art In The Docks, a group or artists in East London, to create a short film/video piece about an exhibition that was being held over the summer. I interviewed 9 different artists explaining the What A Load Of Rubbish project, based around sustainability. I then made a short video containing these videos, and the artists' work.

  Obey - Short FilmObey is a student short film, written and directed by me Esmond Yao. It is the first short I have made and hopefully the first of many. The story is a creepy and uncomfortable one as young Sophie comes home for dinner and is confronted by her two abnormally monotone parents. From there a heated and twisted argument ensues...
