Garreth Chan is a music video and commercial director, editor, and producer from Hong Kong and based in London.

Originally pursuing a career in music therapy, Garreth discovered sound design and film scoring during his university years in the United Arab Emirates, which led him to work in a production company as a post producer, editor, and colourist. An unexpected lyric video edit drew his curiosity towards directing; starting off with music videos for his friends, Garreth has since worked with clients including Burberry, Seye Adelekan (Gorillaz, Hikaru Utada), Geo Jordan (Jungle, Grammy-winning songwriter for Doja Cat), Red Bull, G-Shock and more.

Garreth draws visual and mythological inspiration into deliberate and unusual storytelling through masterful production design and composition. Driven by his classical training as a musician, and refined by his experience in post-production,Garreth has a keen eye for pacing and the narrative’s ebb and flow. His contemplative confidence and love for photography translates into an intriguing and eye-catching style that is unmistakeable.
