THISSA SURENDRA is a nationally and internationally award-winning Sri Lankan film editor and colourist whose creative practice extends across cinema, photography, and design. As an editor, his work is shaped by a close understanding of performance, rhythm, silence, and cinematic time. As a colourist, he works with light, tone, texture, and colour to define the visual atmosphere of each production. His filmography includes feature films, short films, teledramas, documentaries, and other screen-based work. Beyond cinema, Tissa works as a photographer and designer, exploring composition, light, form, and visual storytelling through both still and moving images. These connected practices have shaped a distinctive artistic approach that moves naturally between the editing room, the photographic frame, and the designed image.

PROFILE

Director, screenwriter and moving-image artist working across feature films, shorts, experimental cinema, branded content and game visuals. His practice explores narrative, space, the body and lived experience, as well as the translation of cinematic language across media.

I’m Jang Yongseok, a self-employed graphic designer. I run a small studio called Framebuilders in Jeju, South Korea. Most of my work is brand identity and K-pop album design. I worked on IU’s A Flower Bookmark album series. I’ve also made brand identities for the pet food company O’SO TRUE and the plant shop Mulsori.

Summer’s Camera (dir. Divine Sung) was my first film poster. The director asked me because she liked my handwriting. The English title takes up a lot of space, but the letters have a warm shape, so it feels friendly right away. I also made Korean handwriting that looks like Summer, and moved her from the center line of the road onto a tiny blue square. The director and the crew liked these ideas too, and I’m happy we made a poster I love.
