Derek Kwan is an actor and filmmaker from Vancouver, BC. He has always had a passion for storytelling; as a result his first short film, “Taste of Identity,” showcases the neighborhood where he grew up in East Vancouver. In the words of Ai Weiwei, “Life is art. Art is life.” Derek hopes his films will inspire other Asian youth to pursue their creative dreams.
