Director
Enter XIEPENG’s ​world where ​details speak
XIEPENG’s films are rich in humanistic sensibility, capturing ​the subtlest emotions within each story and bringing them to ​life through masterful visual craftsmanship.

Bio
XIEPENG, from the bustling city of Shanghai, began ​in music and gained recognition as an editor ​before pursuing directing at 35. Celebrated for his ​exceptional humanistic short films and automotive ​commercials, he is regarded as a leading talent in ​the industry. His work resonates deeply, blurring ​the line between reality and illusion, and ​continuously pushing storytelling boundaries.

My approach
I’m obsessed with capturing the subtlest human ​emotions and equally fascinated by the raw beauty ​of automotive mechanics. In my work, I strive for ​the ultimate fusion of emotion and visual art. ​Whether it’s a humanistic short film or a car ​commercial, every detail serves to tell a story that ​hits hard. I’m driven to craft each frame with an ​intensity that blurs the lines between feeling and ​form, creating an immersive experience that grips ​the audience. Moving forward, I’ll keep pushing ​boundaries, making films that stir the soul, ignite ​thought, and redefine the limits of art and ​aesthetics.

His films have ​earned international recognition, winning ​prestigious awards such as Best New ​Director and Best Short Film, reflecting ​his exceptional skills and influence in the ​global film industry.
