About Me – Ethan Hiew
Who Am I?
I am a filmmaker, screenwriter, and VFX artist who blends magic and deeply emotional storytelling into every project across all genres, from fantasy, to sci-fi, to horror, to drama. Based between Minneapolis, MN and Los Angeles, CA, I work in writing and VFX across mediums: from feature films to TV pilots to even comic books.
My Creative Process
I collaborate with producers, directors, and fellow artists to bring unique ideas to life—whether that means refining scripts that capture both heart and spectacle, conjuring magic and superpowers in After Effects, or designing branded visuals. My toolkit includes the full Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop) and Final Draft for screenwriting, enabling a seamless bridge between concept and final product.
My Creative Vision
As a visually impaired creator, I see filmmaking as more than what appears on screen—it’s about translating unseen visions into vivid, tangible worlds. My work often explores the surreal, the imaginative, and the extraordinary, grounded in human emotion.
My Creative Philosophy
Beyond my craft, my creative philosophy is shaped by my own journey: while eyesight may be limited, vision knows no bounds. My mission is to help filmmakers, studios, and creators bring to the screen what has yet to be seen—stories and visuals that spark wonder and connection.
My Work
From spellbinding magic and explosive action to seamless cleanup and bold branding, my writing and VFX work fuses cinematic flair with anime-inspired style. Whether it’s bringing a fantasy universe to life, polishing real-world footage, or designing striking visuals that make brands unforgettable, I’m dedicated to turning imagination into reality
