Remi Karlin

I'm a Hong Kong–raised, half French–half Chinese filmmaker and creative.

Growing up with an artist for a mum and taking art all through high school, I learned early that good work comes from process: plan, research, iterate, refine. That mindset still drives how I build visuals today.

A big turning point was being recruited to model for BAPE in Hong Kong. On set, I watched ideas turn into campaigns — creative direction, teamwork, tight timelines. It pulled me into the world behind the camera. I launched a small clothing brand, B1nbags, in Hong Kong and taught myself the basics of product, visuals, and marketing. That's when creativity and entrepreneurship clicked for me.

At university, I joined creative associations and took on creative direction, content creation, and organisation. The most intense stretch was our year-long BDE campaign: two teams of 35 competing through events and communications. I spent one summer in deep practice operating a cinema-grade camera, lighting scenes, recording clean audio, and delivering in post with editing and colour grading. Since then I've focused on filmmaking, cinematography, editing, and creative direction — telling clear, honest stories in both short and long formats.

All the creative work on this website has been done completely by myself, from pre-production, filming, lighting, sound design, colour grading, post-production, to website design.
