Born in Yangon in 1996, Nyein Chan Myo studied journalism and worked at Joosk Animation Studio as an illustrator and animator before joining a YFS course in animated documentary in 2018. He was a member of the team that created Beyond the Hatred, in which a Buddhist woman recalls how she turned her back on a wave of anti-Muslim feeling in her native Lashio to help a Muslim friend. Nyein Chan has since worked on a number of commissioned animation projects for the School’s production arm, Yangon Film Services.
