After ten years in full-time video production, Xavi founded For The Son Production — in Chinese, 為了兒子製作, literally “made for the son” — when his son was born. The name became the studio's standard — patience on set, honesty in every conversation, and nothing leaves the edit suite unless we'd proudly show it to the people we love most.
The little face in our logo is a daily reminder of who we really make films for: the people on the other side of the screen.

The Story of a
Homegrown Trainer
For the Hong Kong Jockey Club's 2020 season finale, we told the story of Ricky Yiu, a trainer born and raised in Hong Kong — an intimate documentary interview about a lifetime in racing.
10+ years of commercial photography and a long-term partnership with Mannings — events, retail, executive portraits and lifestyle. Tap any photo to enlarge.
Film and photography, tailored — crew, format and deliverables sized to your goals, not a one-size package.
Brand stories, TVCs, celebrity campaigns and company profiles that turn complex messages into clear, human stories.
One team covering launches, expos, conferences and galas — a highlight film and a full photo set from the same day, in one consistent look.
Documentary interviews, employer-brand stories, CSR and NGO films — lit, framed and edited to broadcast standard.
Executive portraits, retail and architecture, and lifestyle imagery for annual reports, PR, LinkedIn and campaigns.
2–3 tailored videos every month for one fixed fee. Consistent, on-brand content without building an in-house team.
Generative AI for storyboards, previs, clean-up and versioning — directed and quality-checked by humans, so budgets go further without the “AI look”.

I'm one of the few filmmakers in Hong Kong who has worked across TV production, online media and advertising — bringing scriptwriting, creative direction, filming, editing and both large- and small-scale ad production together under one roof.
Before founding For The Son Production in 2022, I spent years leading video and creative teams as a video director and creative director across TV, online media and publishing. Whether it's a brand film, a documentary, a commercial or a personal project, I believe every story deserves to be told with creativity and care.
