Alan Chan

Alan Chan started out writing short stories as a teenager, got dazzled by the visual arts and ended up spending nearly three decades creating visual effects on Oscar-winning movies like "Titanic", "Lord of The Rings" and "Alice in Wonderland". Occasionally he moonlights as some sort of writer-director hyphenate, shooting short films and indie features – as evidenced by all the shiny awards on display in his home office, next to the LEGO Millennium Falcon and Eagle Transporter model.

Decades of listening to the voices inside his head have crystallized his optimistic-yet-pragmatic futurist tendencies. His Apollo era childhood, a voracious appetite for sci-fi and a penchant for finding meaning in everything has contributed to this circle-of-life moment - a return to writing.

Alan enjoys the act of stepping into other people’s heads and is planning to squeeze more wordsmithing time into his movie-magic-making workday.
