Jay Oliver Yip

DIRECTOR FILMMAKER ACTOR

He/Him

I'm a multi-disciplinary creative, an award-winning director and producer, as well as an accomplished writer and actor. My holistic approach to storytelling encompasses working collaboratively and organically to encourage “play” as the heart and soul of each project.

With a penchant for comedy/dramedy, I'm passionate about collaborating with under-represented voices (particularly from BESEA/ESEA talent) and bringing fresh and engaging character driven stories to life in a stylised visual way.
