Digital Producers Programme 2025

Chi Sandford

Chi (she/her) is a Filipino British, London-based engagement producer and artist dedicated to community-led projects that foreground lived experienced voices. Her practice is rooted in playfulness, using games as tools to surface personal and collective stories, which then transforms into performances, installations, and film. Working from a bottom-up methodology, Chi co-creates spaces where participants feel ownership – where creative expression becomes a way to strengthen belonging and care. 

Her passion for creative health has led her to produce art festivals that celebrate underrepresented voices, co-create theatre productions exploring migration and identity, curate exhibitions with grassroots charities, and facilitate workshops for community organisers and activists. She’s committed to supporting artists and communities through accessible and collaborative processes that balance creative ambition with practical delivery. 

Currently, Chi is producing short films with Maharlika: Filipino Artists UK, working alongside diaspora artists to tell their collaborative stories. She is also studying Counselling to deepen her capacity to hold space and nurture communities. Chi’s work continues to be driven by joy, tenderness, and the belief that creativity is a vital tool for collective wellbeing.  

Looking ahead, Chi is excited to develop projects that deepen dialogue around belonging and connection through the exciting digital space.

Ja Yoon Jade Kim

Ja Yoon Jade Kim (she/her) is a South Korean producer based in London. She began her career in the Art Department on international films, where she learned the importance of collaboration, visual storytelling, and the craft of building cinematic worlds. That foundation continues to shape how she works as a producer today, balancing attention to detail with a commitment to supporting a director’s vision. 

Her step into producing came from a desire to bridge creativity and execution—helping bold ideas take shape while developing stories that resonate across cultures. Since moving to the UK, she has become especially passionate about creating more access for East and Southeast Asian filmmakers and championing narratives that reflect their diverse experiences. 

She is also drawn to the possibilities of XR and immersive media, seeing them as ways to reimagine cinema and theatre as communal spaces. Guided by this vision, Ja Yoon is excited to keep building work that connects people through authentic and resonant stories.
