His first film, The Rising Tide (2008) premiered at the Frost Museum at Florida International university and was so highly praised, that it was promptly accepted by Art Basel-Miami Beach Committee to be shown as part of it’s official Film Program that year. The Rising Tide features some of China’s most important contemporary artists working in photography and video including Wang Qingsong who is representing China in this year’s Venice Biennale, Cao Fai, Xu Zhen, Chen Qiulin and O Zhang. The film captures the Chinese contemporary art movement at a moment in time as China emerged with the 2008 Olympics.
