Tran quoc bao - editor & director showreel | Bao Tran

Bao honed his visual sense from Kung Fu movies, silent comedies, musicals, and Hitchcock. Mentored early on by master action director Corey Yuen, he was instilled with an approach to action that doesn’t rely solely on spectacle, but draws on story and character. Twitch Film praised his written-and-directed short BOOKIE for its “flawlessly realized world populated by entirely fleshed out and believable characters, driven by a compelling narrative and brought to sumptuous life.” Following an award-winning film festival run, he directed BLACK COFFEE as part of a film anthology produced by Cinema Seattle. His segment’s unique noir style caught the attention of Seattle Magazine, which awarded him their Spotlight Artist of the Year. He has since traveled back to his homeland of Vietnam to work as a film editor. His editing credits include CHO LON, one of Southeast Asia’s highest-budgeted action blockbusters, and JACKPOT, a heartfelt comedy selected as Vietnam’s official entry to the 2016 Oscars for Best Foreign Film. Ain’t It Cool News enthusiastically declared Bao as “a director I expect to see big things from.” http://pov-films.com http://www.imdb.me/tranquocbao
