Writer · Director · Copywriter
Cai is an award-winning screenwriter and film director, with credits spanning short and feature films. Twenty-plus years in, that same instinct — find the one true thing, say it as few times as possible — now shows up in his copywriting for brands, too.
His films have screened at Cannes and FrightFest, and he’s produced work through his own production company, Hell’s Mouth. He has also worked with the BBC. His feature NUMB is streaming now on Amazon Prime Video, Tubi, and Replay.
On the copywriting side, his produced work includes a campaign for the fragrance house Robert Piguet, alongside self-initiated concept work for brands like Ormonde Jayne and Blue Bottle Coffee.
Cai is interested in living beings, cultures, nature, and language. He is multilingual, and he makes work that is designed to resonate — across borders, across backgrounds, across experience.
Raised in the ‘80s on a mixture of Hong Kong kung fu flicks and slasher films that were never quite as serious as they looked, Cai is naturally a genre fan, with the comic timing to match — it runs in his veins.
Cai has a slate of film and TV pilots ready for production, both drama and horror. His copywriting work can be found here.
Cai does not accept unsolicited scripts, pitches, or story ideas.
