Htun Tauk Moe Thu is from Myeik in Myanmar's southernmost Tanintharyi region. A graduate of the National University of Arts and Culture's cinema studies course, his desire to learn more about documentary led him to enrol at YFS in 2018. He has since developed a keen filmmaking eye as cinematographer on documentaries by fellow students such as Nang Mhwe Ngin Seng’s Husband & Wife and Seint Yamone Htoo’s Kachin Reporter as well as storytelling skills as the editor on Nang Mhwe Ngin Seng's Not Like My Father. Besides co-creating the papier mâché docu-animation Our Town about a mixed-faith community in the delta region, he has also collaborated on the short documentary-inspired drama, The Other Side of the Tracks. He is currently working on his first documentary as a director in his own right.
