Dexter Chuang (Chuang Xu) is a director, producer, and creative strategist from China. His films sit somewhere between poetic realism and quiet absurdity, the kind of stories built from small gestures, long silences, and moments most people would miss if they blinked.

He moves easily between documentary, branded work, and social media formats, but the throughline is always the same: emotional honesty over noise. Nothing flashy for the sake of it. Just images that land and stay with you.

His projects range from feature documentaries to creative campaigns. Alongside film and commercial work, he has spent years partnering with conservation NGOs, national parks, and public institutions, making films about ecology, animals, and the fragile ways humans and nature coexist.

His films have screened at international festivals, toured theaters, flown on 10+ airlines, and shown up everywhere from museums to major cultural venues like the Kennedy Center, Singapore’s Esplanade, and China’s National Centre for the Performing Arts.

Dexter holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts. He serves as a jury member for the Shanghai International Film Festival, mentors program fellows through Today at Apple, and is the full-time legal servant to Bertie, a Border Collie with extremely specific taste.

His process is intuitive, detail-obsessed, and mildly allergic to clichés.
