-- English sub –

I am Jason, my Chinese name is C.H. Feng. I am an Assistant Expedition Leader on MS Maud at Hurtigruten. My job is to assist the Expedition Leader in executing every expedition effectively.

My adult life is quite unique and different from the ordinary. I didn’t enjoy studying at school, so my parents often took me to the mountains. For me, the mountains are where I learned everything. They not only provided education but also played an essential role in my life. Since graduating from university, I have traveled around the world to explore the vast oceans and towering mountains.

Countless memories were made during my visits to Antarctica, the Arctic Pole, Norway, and Scotland… The breathtaking moment of witnessing whales hunting is beyond words. You must see it for yourself to experience the beauty of this world.

I cherish the moment when I wake up; I always look forward to it because I have a lot to accomplish.

I aspire to become a pioneer like Amundsen, a true explorer.

Going to your workplace everyday might not be as exciting as it was, but for the Expedition Team members on MS Maud, their “everyday work” is what we’ll dream of. Check out this video about the Mandarin-speaking EXP team members you’ll meet on your sailing to Arctic Circle, Antarctica, British Isles, North West Passage or Galapagos!

My latest mini-doc films are finally released on MET POLICE’s official YouTube Channel. It’s a journey that broadens my work visions and expands my abilities in filming, editing and post-production.

Policing is full of challenges. It is important to find out a bridge to communicate, to help break down barriers inside and outside the organisation and to celebrate differences and embrace individuality.

Thanks all the colleagues who support this project along the way for almost 9 months! It’s great to show the diversity and humane side of these honourable police officers.

‘Now, more than ever, become a Police Officer in the Met Police.’

A timely current affairs cross-nation documentary series I worked as a fixer for Flowing Films. Beating Covid-19 is a two-part documentary series regarding how the UK and Taiwan deal with the COVID pandemic in major cases, new drug development and vaccines. commissioned by Discovery Channel and SET News in Taiwan.

It’s been amazing to work on this Taiwan episode throughout the pre-production, production and post-production for Channel 5’s successful documentary series “World’s Most Scenic Railway Journeys” voiced by Bill Nighy. It has constantly hit 1.5 million viewers for its extraordinary train journeys around the world.

I am the producer of this thought-provoking independent short film.

Majd Bouchto uncovers the secrets of surviving rough sleeping in London and seeks ways for the homeless to gain a return ticket back to society. What he doesn’t know is he’s about to end up on the streets too.

I supervised the entire post-production process, liaised between the Producer, Director, Editor, Supervising Sound Editor, VFX Supervisor, Animator and Colourist as well as made sure that all deadlines are met and acquired broadcaster’s editorial and technical standards.

SUNSET was broadcast on Hakka TV at 9.30pm on Saturdays and PTS HD channel, CTS channel and online platforms LINE TV, YouTube as well as ETTV America.

Our campaign has been widely reported on Taiwanese media. I wrote articles with the media team and hosted workshops to raise awareness on gender equality. Our articles were published on BBC Chinese service, Storm Media, Apple Daily, The Reporter and Civilmedia.

I documented Streets Kitchen’s campaign rally in front of White Hall and their outreaches in Camden Town, questioning whether there is a better solution for homeless issue in London.

Follow my film to meet some friends on the streets and re-think what is most needed for them.

I worked in this programme as a Researcher from the development to the whole series completed for broadcast. I was responsible for identifying contributors and coordinating everything for two episodes: EP1 Luodong and EP3 Penghu.

This was the first programme on Hakka TV that broke the language boundaries to tell stories and interview characters from non-Hakkas, visiting indigenous tribes, Taiwanese architects, musicians who overcame disabilities and all walks of life living in Taiwan and the islands district. It was a creatively made and character-driven in-depth factual programme that has a universal appeal.

I co-directed three episodes of factual entertainment series “Charging Travel” in Hawaii and Beijing, collaborating with high-profile presenting talents and 40 international crews. This programme was commissioned by Alibaba Group and premiere on 5 February 2015 at Qinghai Satellite TV in China and later circulate virally on Tmall.com.

As Executive Producer of Ba Fang Media Production, I supervised the artistic and technical aspects of Hakka Overseas and successfully won the commission for four years by Hakka TV, a satellite cable channel operated by Taiwan’s Public Broadcast System.

I was responsible for developing original stories, finding contributors, managing a team of three, travelling overseas in Asia, South Africa and European countries and editing the full programme and the trailer for the participated episode.

This programme aims to tell the life stories of the Hakka people overseas by an entertaining travelogue style, uncovering how they adapt to the foreign culture and preserve Hakka culture in the new hometown.
