Chinh Van Tran

Hi, I’m Chinh (b. 1992 in Vietnam), a writer who is currently based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. But I’m a bit of a nomad, really.

I got a BA in Multimedia Design in 2014 and spent four years working in the film and advertising industry in Vietnam before moving to Europe to study filmmaking with the Erasmus Kino Eyes Film Master’s in 2018. In 2019, I was awarded a grant from Germany’s Crossing Borders Foundation to conduct a research trip in Leipzig and Berlin for the mini-series project Be Happy, Or Else!. The project was also selected to participate in the Sitges Pitchbox 2020 Competition. My work has been selected in various short film festivals and short development schemes in Europe, including Finland, Germany, Portugal, and Scotland.
