TH Lee – Director / Writer / Editor
Location: Shanghai
Emotional. Inspiring. Unforgettable.
These are the words that describe the creative approach of former film editor TH Lee when it comes to the telling of a story, any story on a screen. For over a decade, he’s honed his film slicing and dicing skills from Malaysia to Mainland China, working on content alongside top film and commercial directors from all around the globe. Among them are Jeffrey Darling, Diego Pernia, Alexander Paul, Andrew Lang and many others more.
With over a hundred of projects for high profile clients such as Nike, Coca-Cola, Chrysler and L’Oreal all in the can, TH decides to take the logical step up by taking his storytelling approach through the director’s position. In 2014 he was swiftly commissioned on several projects, one of which was a short film for American lifestyle brand Vans that garnered a Best Film award and a film grant.
TH is the type of storyteller who digs deep into humanity yet preserving the strong visual aesthetic with a strong hint of Soviet montage theory. Sergei Eisenstein influences him heavily when it comes to building an emotion with a series of different visuals that have no continuity to one another.
TH is a part of our TBL Shanghai family and assuming the role of Collaborating Creative Advisor.
