MUSIC VIDEO AND FILM DIRECTOR

Ciro Ayala is an independent music video and film director known for his dark and surreal style. He also co-founded Provoke Films with Liu Ming Fei.

EARLY LIFE

Inspired by the films of Steven Spielberg, Ciro began making movies at age ten with a Panasonic video camera, a gift from his parents. At age 15, Ciro edited videos for Interpol, Sport Championships and Identity Films, with his own Video Editing platform, installed at his bedroom.

In 2000, at age 19, with producer Facundo Marcías, Ciro wrote and directed his first independent movie, a 30 minutes suspense short called Disfraz. The movie was later shown in the Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre International Film Festival for 3 consecutive years, as well as in Madrid and Paris.

CAREER IN ASIA

In 2002, Ciro left his University studies and moved to Taiwan. He went to work for several companies as 3D Architecture Designer, Art Director and Filmmaker, but discovered that he was more creative and efficient working by his own than under the wrong people. So, in 2008 he went on to found Provoke Films with his wife Liu Ming Fei.

Producing project work in nearly all media for exhibition in Europe, Asia, and America, Ciro has been credited with work on projects including videos for Armin van Buuren, Andy Moor, Armada Music, DarkBird Recordings, and AKM. Commercial work includes Green World Ecological Park, Glenfiddich, Cite Communication, Mio GPS, Inventec, along with a "Japanese Buddhist Altar" documentary created for the Ethnographic Ambrosetti Museum.
