Director & Editor

I’m Ethan Lien — a director and editor based in Los Angeles, making music videos, short films, and commercials that look cool and make an impact.

I studied film at CU Denver and came out of it with a BFA, a love for visual storytelling, and an addiction to peach Red Bull and iced coffee. In 2023, I even picked up a Heartland Chapter Emmy, which was wild and super rewarding.

I love collaborating with all kinds of folks — whether you're an up-and-coming artist, a big brand, or just someone with a story to tell.

Let’s make something awesome together.

Let’s work together
