Director | Creative

Joshua Chan is a Canadian, film & advertising Director and Creative.

From humble beginnings in Toronto at an award winning production house to relocating to Singapore. Josh creates visually cinematic, quirky, human-centric, and personal films for global brands.

Apart from being a stand up, nice guy (a trait of all Canadians), he loves working on projects that strive to tell unique and meaningful stories. As a lover of films, an athlete, and world traveller, he allows his appetite for culture, diversity, and life experiences to influence his art and work. Believing that great ideas and personal storytelling is the key to any project. Because the best companies, the best stories, come from empathy. The ability to connect with people, to build relationships, entertain, and give brands a unique voice.

To Josh, no project is too small or too big. No brief is too weird or too ambitious. He’s willing and able to handle anything. Always seeking and celebrating creativity and great filmmaking. Because at the end of the day, he just wants to just make cool shit – with you.

Over the years, directing and conceptualising creative ideas for incredible brands and agencies such as: Netflix, IBM, Airbnb, Marina Bay Sands, Huawei, ByteDance, StarHub, Philips, HSBC, Amgen, KFC, Nescafe, J&J, Unilever, Electrolux, Ogilvy, Hogarth, and TeamHW.
