Amy CHAN Tsz Kwan commenced her Sound Designer career at 3H Sound Studio Limited summer internship at Taipei after her graduation from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2017. She returned to Hong Kong for her debut Macao independent film “Passing Rain” (2017) which was in competition at the Macao International Film Festival and Awards 2017, and screened at Hong Kong Asian Film Festival 2018. Apart from sound post production, she also worked as a location sound recordist。

 

As a sound designer, Amy’s work ranges from independent feature films to drama shorts. She has collaborated with both local and foreign directors, for example: Takuya MISAWA, Steve LI, Zune KWOK, Fei-pang WONG and Soak CHAN. Some of her recent works include "Lost Pearl" (2021), which was selected for the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2022, "The Murders of Oiso" (2019), which went to the Busan International Film Festival 2019, South Taiwan Film Festival 2019, Hong Kong Asia Film Festival 2019 and the Osaka Asian Film Festival 2020, and “Memories to Choke On, Drinks to Wash Them Down” (2019), which was screened at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival 2020 and the Vancouver International Film Festival 2020.

 

Her interest in sound extends towards performing art stages since her collaboration with sound artists and musicians to perform at Freespace Jazz Fest Experimental Jazz Lab organized by West Kowloon Cultural District (Hong Kong) in 2020. She explores the morph of ambience with pitch and texture to add colours into music. In 2021, she worked with dancers and visual artists for their dance videos respectively.Inspired by the recent frequent departures in Hong Kong, she created "Birdscape Break" (2022), a sound work comprised of 8 audio tracks, under the commission of Contemporary Musiking Hong Kong. On the other hand, she has broadened the possibility of joining different sectors of the production by taking on the role of producer since “Lost Pearl” (2021).

 

Amy was one of the Berlinale Talents 2023, and was selected as a Sound Fellow at BIFF Asian Film Academy 2022.
