A course by Jiajie Yu Yan
Jiajie Yu Yan is a film director and commercial filmmaker. His first experience on a film set was in 2007 as an actor for a Pepsi ad, which is when he realized that what he really wanted to do was to get behind the camera. He earned a degree in audiovisual communication from the Ramón Llull University in Barcelona and did a master's degree in screenplay and film direction at the Bande à Part film school. Thanks to a scholarship, he moved to Madrid to study a master in digital cinematography at EFTI.
He has received awards at the Thailand International Film Destination Festival for his short films A Lonely Trip (2014) and Blissful City (2015). His short film Aliens (2016) was filmed in Benidorm and has been nominated in more than 40 national and international festivals, including the Málaga Film Festival, the Sant Joan d'Alacant Film Festival, and the Curtocircuíto International Short Film Festival in Santiago de Compostela—all of them qualifiers for the Goya Awards. His latest music video for the song Soul (2018) by the group The Prussians was selected as a Vimeo Staff Pick and has been shared on platforms such as NOWNESS, Booooooom, Directors Notes, and in magazines such as i-D Vice, Metal Magazine, and Kluid Magazine.
