Pak Hou Chau (born 12 August 1996) is a multidisciplinary storyteller, animation director, and intrinsic entrepreneur based in Macau. He is known for making concept-driven, highly stylized, and mostly non-verbal animated shorts in his anthology series Koan. Negative space, subjective perspective, and the relationship between dual and non-dual nature are recurring themes in the stories that he and his company Moti Media produce, including What's There? (2021) which is a moving meditation on the painful yet beautiful relationship between seemingly opposing forces and how the existence of one validates the existence of the other, and Pursuit of Heavens (2021) which is an exploration into different dimensions and relational space. Pak's works have a subversive personality to them that pushes boundaries, mock preconceived notions, and simultaneously provide viewers space to make their own interpretations of the moving works of art that they are witnessing. Koan is set to be released on streaming platforms by the end of 2021.
