Filmmaker Yuann has joined the roster of Cadence Films for representation in the U.S. and France spanning commercials and branded content. Cadence maintains offices in New York and Paris.
The Japanese-Chinese filmmaker has a body of work that ranges from fashion and beauty to gaming and automotive advertising. Born in Shanghai and based in Tokyo, Yuann started his career as a graphic designer and art director, eventually pivoting to a focus on directing. Yuann’s brand of visual storytelling is immediately recognizable and able to transcend language and cultures, a powerful advantage in reaching global audiences. His unique ability to weave CGI/VFX with live action and premium craftsmanship has led Yuann to commercial collaborations with internationally known brands like Apple, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Versace, Shiseido, Marc Jacobs, Tag Heuer, Kenzo, Nike and Toyota, among many more. A VFX artist and director, Yuann–who was previously repped by production house Bunker in the U.S. market–is known for incorporating elements of VFX to achieve lighthearted means in storytelling, yielding work that rings true.
“I’m constantly striving to push boundaries, and the latest one involved me embracing the cross-cultural aspects of my work and its influences,” said Yuann. “Thankfully, Cadence Films is playing an integral role in that venture. I’m very excited to be represented by them and look forward to working in many genres and across many disciplines with them.”
Lorenzo Ragionieri, co-founder and executive producer of Cadence Films, said, “The energy, exuberance, and technical complexity of Yuann’s work immediately drew us to him. Thanks to his incredible knack for weaving VFX and live action, there’s nothing Yuann can think of that he can’t achieve on screen. We’re thrilled to bring his work, and its brand new feel, to the US and European markets.”
