  • Dajianna Huang / Cinematographer

    Dajiana Huang is a Taiwanese-American cinematographer based in London, with roots in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. Growing up, her formative years were spent perusing fashion blogs and music videos, which sparked a love for subversive arts and culture.

The transcendental power of imagery inspires her to understand how different cultures approach visual storytelling.

More Details

  • The abilities of this team have come together to create a strong base for the pursuit of telling an unconventionally bold story. We all want to see subversive and risk-taking projects on the screen and have come together to do just that. As we build off of each other’s skills and experiences the path to Surveillance’s future success becomes more clear.

  • Surveillance has had a lot of success in writing competitions; featured on the Cover Fly’s Red List as well as the top 20% of entries at Killer Shorts.

    The project has garnered interest and support from BFI’s short film lab and was invited to take part in the shorts to feature workshop earlier this winter.

  • Combining the talents of our experienced team and the current demand for horror content, Surveillance’s unique and bold story will play well in festival markets. We anticipate that the feature version of this film will go on to attract a the attention of streaming services like Shudder and will easily find distribution in a market that’s hungry for horror and a zeitgeist currently drenched in female rage.
