About — Jimmy Vi ^^

Hi there I’m a Film Director and freelance Creative Director based out of Toronto. I studied advertising at OCADU. As a freelance creative I’ve been working with AD agencies, record labels and independent musicians. I also am a commercial film director. I worked often as a hybrid creative and can do everything from writing a script, developing a visual language to directing films and commercials.

My work is about creating visual poetry that is rich in art direction yet intimate and personal. To me in many ways art is like therapy. It’s an act where we get to process and make sense of the world through the things we make. Quintessential to my work are stories told with purpose through the lens of diversity in cultures and backgrounds.

On top of watching anime, gaming and music I spend my spare time supporting and running programming, mentorship and workshops for emerging BIPOC creatives with ‘ECRU.CLUB’.
