Hello, my name is

Huibin Tan

Filmmaker, Multimedia Designer
and Fine Art Enthusiast

About me

I am an enthusiastic filmmaker and designer based in Vancouver with a rich experience of over 8 years.

With eight years of professional industry experience in filmmaking, graphic design, and fine arts, I am a seasoned professional deeply passionate about storytelling. My career began in the film industry in Malaysia in 2016, specializing in advertising and short film projects, where I gained invaluable skills across the filmmaking process. In 2018, I transitioned to a non-profit organization in Calgary, focusing on documentary and oral history projects, further enhancing my storytelling, project management, and collaboration skills. Additionally, I gained insights working at the organization’s California headquarters. This diverse experience, coupled with my recent film school education in 2023, equips me with a versatile skillset to excel in various projects, be it commercial campaigns or heartfelt documentaries, all driven by my unwavering dedication to quality and storytelling excellence.

Feel free to engage my services in these fields. I always go the extra mile to deliver high-quality content that is personalized to your needs. Check out some of my works here and let them speak for themselves!
