Bio: For over 10 years, Champ has had a wide perspective on the film industry, ranging from directing short films in his native Thailand to seeing the process of online curation and community management at the Manhattan offices of Vimeo. Champ’s active participation in Seattle organizations like the Northwest Film Forum and the Seattle Asian American Film Festival has allowed him to develop a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing media artists from diverse backgrounds. In his most recent role as part of the post-production team at World Famous in Seattle, Champ has worked on creating content for major brands like T-Mobile, Microsoft, and Amazon. Through a transition from a traditional post-production house to a creative agency, Champ has gained a keen insight into the economic opportunities that the film industry can bring to Seattle as well as glimpses in the crossovers that occur between advertising and narrative-driven filmmaking.
