Jac Min trades in a timeless versatility, often by constructing visual rhythms, yielding works that are visceral, cerebral experiences around tight, well-calculated and interwoven narratives.
His technical background in post-production, motion design and lighting has led him to a constant mix of mediums and approaches, often blurring the lines between the practical and CGI/animation.
He is a firm believer that nuanced, resonant complexity is an emergent quality from a combination of and adherence to simple, core narrative tenets.
At the heart of his works, is a calculated, considered approach to storytelling - his true obsession. He believes in moving his audiences by eliciting charming, grounded moments in which they can recognize a bit of themselves in.
