My Story

Xu Jingtao was born on September 26, 1982. It has been 17 years since I graduated from Shanghai Theatre Academy, and I have always dreamed of directing. In the process of realizing this dream, I worked as the assistant director of more than 40 dramas. In 2016, I directed two immature network movies.

I hope that my friends who are in a low point of life or who have similar experiences can find a suitable way to live.
