LOYAL XIE
Yu / a film ↗
Reasons to Lie / a film ↗I'm Loyal, a creative director and award-winning filmmaker. I take ideas from the first brainstorm to final delivery, writing, directing and shooting along the way.
I've made hundreds of ads, along with music videos, documentaries and narrative films, leading crews of up to 80. At my last company, I owned its largest partnership, the Argentina National Football Team's World Cup campaign, built its in-house CTV from the ground up, and pioneered and led its first AI CTV ad. When AI came into the picture, I embraced it fast, and built my own system and skills around it, drawing on years across roles and departments. Ads made with it are already live.

A little more, on paper
I wrote and sold an original feature screenplay.
I studied film at Emerson College (BFA) and Loyola Marymount University (MFA, Directing). I've also taught filmmaking at UCLA Summer Sessions and cinematography as a graduate TA at LMU, where I've been invited back as a guest lecturer.
Your idea, or mine?
Either way, write to me.
