Na Gyi

Na Gyi was born in 1981 in Yangon, Burma. He received his higher education at Edgeware Academy and Morley College in London, where he studied computer science and digital filmmaking. He received the Best Cinematographer Award at the ASEAN International Film Festival (AIFF) in 2019 for his feature film Mi. He then made What Happened to the Wolf with his wife. After the February 2021 coup in Burma, the military junta captured and violently imprisoned thousands of people who had participated in the anti-coup movement. Many protesters were forced to flee the country, including Na Gyi. The ruling junta issued arrest warrants for him. He subsequently made three short films in hiding and in exile.
