Lawrence Le Lam wants to make your life a little less shitty by making something that you’ll watch and think “That was fucking rad! I think I learnt something today!” He’s won a bunch of awards and stuff, but you don’t really care. One person once said that Lawrence’s 1970s Taiwan-set short film about a rebellious radio DJ who broadcasted banned rock roll, The Blue Jet, was “Easily one of the best short films”. Lawrence found that extremely flattering. Lawrence has also made a feature-length documentary, Not Business As Usual, about businesses attempting to make people’s lives less shitty (AKA the social enterprise movement). It’s free online. It’s got around 100k views now, but Lawrence isn’t counting. Lawrence works as a producer, editor, and cinematographer at Point Blank Creative that does cool digital video stuff for cool progressive organizations that try to make the world less shitty such as the David Suzuki Foundation and Vancouver Foundation.
