Born in 1994 in Saigon, Vietnam, Nguyen Le Hoang Phuc is a film director and editor. After his first year as an undergraduate at Van Lang University in the Faculty of English, Phuc fell in love with filmmaking and quit college to pursue the art of cinema. Starting as a video and film editor, for the past five years, Phuc has taken different roles for various projects, ranging from TVCs to feature films. In 2020, Phuc made his debut short film ‘No Country for Smokers’, which took inspirations from the new regulations on films showing smoking scenes, and reflected the inner life of Vietnamese youths. He is now finishing his second film "LIttle Tomb On The Prairie", a continuation in his pursuit of the dark comedy genre. The project has been developed with the support of UNESCO's On The Reel program. The release is set for late 2022.
