FOTB Highlight #1 Rob Chiu



This years Flash on the Beach has drawn in a variety of creative speakers from around the world, however on day one there was only one person I was heading straight to see - Rob Chiu.
Rob has been working under his alias Ronin for over 9 years now and in that time shown us some amazing motion graphic pieces, stunning photography and more recently some of the most powerful short films and film titles around.
At FOTB he revealed secrets of his new film project Fear/Love. A story of Identity, love and self destruction amongst young people in Inner City London. Portrayed by an amazing, young and gritty cast, the film is written and directed by Rob himself. Shot on beautiful Red One cameras with The Mill providing grading and post duties. This is most definitely one to look out for when its released, and will very likely see Rob get the cinematic recognition he certainly deserves.
