TAT THANH HA

Tat Thanh Ha is an award-winning director born and raised in Hanoi, Vietnam. Driven by a passion for storytelling, Thanh pursued his studies at Van Lang University, one of Vietnam’s leading institutions for film and media. It was there that he truly discovered his voice as a storyteller and developed his directing skills and professional craft.

His debut short film, “Through Hands, Through Lives”, received an Official Selection at the 2025 Golden Kite Awards, Vietnam’s most prestigious national film awards, along with additional honors from the Ho Chi Minh City Cinema Association and other professional organizations.

Alongside his academic training, Thanh has actively participated in feature films, commercials, and music video productions to continuously refine his practical experience. Most notably, he served as First Assistant Director (1st AD) on the feature film “Báu Vật Trời Cho”, one of the largest-scale productions of 2026, scheduled for theatrical release during the Lunar New Year holiday.

For me, dreams are what keep me moving forward, the fuel that feeds me every day. I often find myself questioning how to balance them with the harsh realities of life. One day, I hope to make films that reflect my own struggles, gently romanticizing pain and uncovering the quiet beauty hidden inside it.
