Lin Hnin Aye (born in 1991) initially received training in journalism at Myanmar’s National Management College and worked as a part-time video journalist before discovering her love of documentary filmmaking. She has since contributed to a number of YFS productions including My Grandfather’s House (as sound recordist) and the Wathann Film Festival award-winning short Missing (as camera assistant). Having trained in participatory video during a YFS course in 2014, she joined YFS Travelling Cinema crews facilitating workshops in communities in Kachin and Shan states. Her documentary portrait of The Washu Family marked her first film as a director. She has gone on to direct a documentary about a Lisu shaman in Mogok township on the border to Shan State entitled Sound of the Spirits.
