Jackson Lu

Hi, I’m Jackson — a filmmaker and visual storyteller from the cyberpunk city of Chongqing. After studying cinema in Canada, I began blending local insight with a global creative lens. My work captures layered stories — from neon-lit nights to hidden alleys — and invites others into cinematic, human experiences.

While Chongqing is my home base, my storytelling spans cities and cultures. Whether it’s content, collaborations, or on-the-ground projects, I bring places to life through film and photography. And this journey’s just getting started.
