Nicholas Chin

Nicholas Chin has been popping up more and more in conversations about bold filmmaking, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why. The guy’s got credits that range from meditative collabs to gritty drama. Take “Ludovico Einaudi x WaterBear: Broken Wings” (2023) for starters—this isn’t just another artsy doc. There’s a vibe, a sort of haunting beauty about it, probably thanks to Einaudi’s music weaving through Chin’s visuals. It’s almost hypnotic, but not in a way that puts you to sleep. More like it jolts you awake to the world’s messiness and hope. Then you’ve got “Blood Brothers: Bara Naga” (2025), which, let’s be real, is a whole different beast. Chin dives headfirst into themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the kind of brotherhood that’s forged in fire, not blood. He doesn’t sugarcoat things. The tension is thick, characters are complex (no cardboard cutouts here), and the stakes? Yeah, they’re sky-high. You can tell Chin has a knack for pulling out raw performances and building up a world that feels downright lived-in—gritty streets, late-night whispers, all of it. Don’t sleep on “Cahaya Terakhir” (2017), either. Chin’s got this ability to dig deep into the emotional trenches, exploring loss and redemption without ever tipping over into melodrama. He’s not afraid to let the story breathe—quiet moments hit just as hard as the big ones. If you’re looking for a filmmaker who actually makes you feel something real, Nicholas Chin’s stuff is worth your time.
