Hi.
I'm Kuan Wei Yu.

Kuan Wei Yu is a writer/director/cinematographer. He was born and raised in Taiwan and moved to the US in 2017 to pursue an education and career in film. Kuan has experience on multiple film sets, including CSUN class projects, CSUN senior thesis, and professional shows. He also worked as the cinematographer for a couple of CSUN short film projects. What drew him to filmmaking is the magical way that movies make the audience feel. How we can feel genuine joy and sorrow for what essentially are images on a screen. That is why evoking audiences' emotions is essential to Kuan’s storytelling. Growing up as a queer person, Kuan felt an intense loneliness, which is why he would like to dedicate his filmmaking career to telling stories inspired by queer experiences, in the hopes that future generations of queer youth will have representations on screen and won’t feel as isolated as he once felt. Kuan's goal is to be the cinematographer to bring diverse and queer-experience-inspired stories to life, using film to highlight marginalized communities and inspire positive changes in the world.
