Lim Yen

Lim Yen is a Singapore-based storyteller with more than 10 years of experience in editing long and short-form fiction, non-fiction, reality, commercial, branded content, music videos, and more. An alumnus of Cinemovement Lab VII Tokyo 2024 and the Apichatpong Creators Lab 2023 in Mexico, she believes in always finding new and alternative ways of telling stories and not conforming to the norm.

Her short “exits/entrances” is her regaining autonomy in moving images. No scripts, shot lists, planning were involved. This labour of love was born amongst a different culture, space and time in Yucatan, Mexico. A cathartic observation on life while finding beauty in the brokenness, by making mistakes, and knowing that these mistakes aren't necessarily mistakes, but just non-conventions. She snagged the Special Mention award at Singapore Youth Film Festival 2024, and the Honorable Mention at Cine Pobre Film Festival 2024. Her other latest works include a WIP feature documentary edit with Akanga Film Asia titled "E La Nave Va (And The Ship Sails On)" chronicling artist Milenko Prvacki’s life, and her first feature narrative edit “Orang Ikan”, which premiered at Tokyo Intl. Film Festival, Singapore Intl. Film Festival and Trieste Science Fiction Festival.

When she is not film marathoning, you can find her boxing all her problems away in the gym, or running away from them in nature.
