John Vang

filmmaking / editing / cinematography

John Vang is an imaginative and passionate filmmaker with a deep love for storytelling and a playful, creative spirit. Growing up, he was captivated by The Matrix, watching it over and over and dreaming of one day creating something just as impactful—even better. While he hasn’t yet ventured far into action filmmaking, his own projects have developed a signature style: suspenseful comedies with a hint of horror, stories that entertain while keeping audiences on edge.

For John, film is more than entertainment—it's a chance to move people in profound ways. He wants to make movies that leave lasting impressions: films that bring laughter on hard days, that make viewers cry alongside beloved characters, or that motivate someone to finally get off the couch and chase their goals. It’s this power of storytelling that drives him to keep creating.

As a child, John would invent elaborate stories, many of which are still with him, waiting to be fully realized on screen. Through filmmaking, he channels these ideas into tangible narratives, determined to one day share even his most ambitious stories with the world. He values the butterflies that come with sharing his work—it’s a sign of caring deeply about his craft and about how it connects with others.

Currently, John is focused on pushing himself as an artist: seeking honest feedback, stepping outside his comfort zone, collaborating with other filmmakers, and casting local actors instead of relying solely on friends. He knows that becoming the artist he wants to be means making more content, learning from mistakes, and growing with every new project.
