SPECIAL MENTION
Sam Iwata, aka Liu, is a writer-director based in Shanghai, China, a former M&C Saatchi Shanghai Head of TV from 2010 - 2019, and the founder of 38pro film Ltd. as a Writer-Director from 2018 - current.
In commercial, he was awarded the ROI FESTIVAL GOLD WINNER in 2018.
Currently in 2021, Sam is adapting himself into the movie industry, targeting on becoming a successful storyteller while projecting compelling visuals toward audience with mind-blowing creative works of art to come.
Upon being asked by a friend to collaborate in a 48 Hour Film Project based on one of my stories, we achieved remarkably within 48 hours with only a budget of under 4K RMB (USD 630).
By squeezing a feature-length story into a 7 minutes short film, we are modestly honored to present the masterpiece produced with phenomenal DNA but was disqualified by mismatched genre.
Initially from the Commercial World, I find myself in a brand new Film World, where I certainly believe my learning path is still long ahead as I will enhance rapidly in the near future.
