His debut feature documentary, Century of Smoke (2019), about a young father struggling with opium addiction in Laos, premiered at Visions du Réel before touring widely. Since 2020 he has frequently collaborated with his partner, Vietnamese filmmaker Truong Minh Quý. Their co-directed short film Porcupine premiered at IFFR in 2023.
