AN INDEPENDENT FILM STUDIO

Independent films.
Made in Pleiku.

QVFilm develops and produces films in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. From the first pages of a screenplay to the final cut, the work starts with the story.

01 / THE STUDIO

A place to begin.
Not a boundary.

QVFilm is an independent film studio based in Pleiku, in Vietnam’s Central Highlands, led by writer-director Đào Phúc Quang Vũ.

We make films about people, their choices, and the places that stay with them. Working in Pleiku gives us a close view of the region, but our stories aren’t intended only for people who live here.

Our way of working is straightforward: develop the script, prepare carefully, bring the right people into the room, and give the edit the attention it deserves. A good film needs more than a good camera.
