About the Director
Hypnus Yao, genderless, is a filmmaker who lives in Los Angeles. Hypnus fell in love with the process of making films at a very young age. As an animal lover and environmentalist, Hypnus began the production “For the Goblins” to claim people’s responsibility towards the earth. Moreover, Hypnus is a pessimist and pantheist who believes there is more in the world that needs to be explored. Thus, Hypnus wishes to send out the message to everyone though scripts and movies.
