www.larissaong.comI've made feature-length documentaries for Channel NewsAsia, CuriosityStream, and National Geographic Channel, which have been awarded at the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards, World Media Festivals, the New York Festivals and the Asian Academy Creative Awards. I have also made digital shorts for SCMP Films, Euronews, and other news outlets. I primarily direct, write, and produce, but love shooting whenever the opportunity arises. Stories of migration, existentialism, and the creative process interest me the most, and within them I like to explore the messiness and absurdity of existence. As I find the process as important as the result, I seek collaborators who are open-hearted and sensitive, testing the traditions of the form over following norms, whether that be in camerawork, production hierarchies, or methods of storytelling.I am based in Lisbon, Portugal, and have lived and worked in Washington DC, Singapore, and Mexico City. I speak Mandarin, Spanish, English, am learning Portuguese.
