Because of his burning passion for art, along with his multi-talented genius, the director born in 1987 has joined a musical group since he was still in school. Nothing has been done, but once done, it must be done until and done. Her singing career has earned her a decent income to support her studies.

Dinh Ha Uyen Thu revealed his passion and talent in producing a series of small music videos that are quite attractive. Her career was only officially expanded when she received an offer to produce the music video for the song "Catching the emotional wave" by famous singer Wanbi Tuan Anh.

The success of this first MV has brought Uyen Thu's name closer to the path of professional director. After that, she received a series of invitations to collaborate with emerging young singers along with associated works such as: "To my ex" - Ho Ngoc Ha, "Gong dance" - Hair Tien, "Living away from you is not easy" - Bao Anh,...

Her talent as "Witch Director" was further confirmed when she was behind a series of hits of "living legend" Son Tung M-TP with hit MVs such as: "Let go of each other's hands", "Lost".

Talking about the feeling of being favorably called "million-view director", Dinh Ha Uyen Thu was a little shy to share: "Because that title inadvertently puts pressure on me. And gradually I became dependent on numbers. But it's also motivation for me to try to do my job better."

To say if there is any MV that the young director transformed without being summoned views, she shared: "There are also times when the product I make waits forever, waits forever to be summoned views. But for me, millions of views or tens of millions of views... not the most important factor.

What matters is audience sharing. It means that a lot of people after watching the music video I made, they saw them in it and they opened up to share it with me. I'm very happy, because it's so precious, it has strengthened my life capital a lot."

Dubbed the "Golden Director in the MV village", Dinh Ha Uyen Thu has produced countless products that "storm" the Vietnamese music track. Uyen Thu is one of the most influential directors.

Possessing formidable achievements on the Vietnamese music track, in 2022, Dinh Ha Uyen Thu suddenly caused a fever at the Vietnamese box office when he was behind the success of the movie "Sweet Trap". According to statistics from the Box Office Vietnam system, the film achieved revenue of more than 83 billion VND, reaching the Top 5 most popular theatrical films in 2022.

The film was developed from the sitcom "Operation Against Death" that had made an impression before. The main plot still revolves around the four main characters, Camy, Quynh Lam, Linh Dan and Kent, taking place at a time after they have not seen each other for a long time. They all gathered to celebrate Camy's third wedding anniversary. But the flip side of married life makes all three decide to plan your release.

"Sweet Trap" when it has not been released has not created confidence in the audience and fans. Because she had no experience in film. The theme revolving around friendship and love is nothing new, striking to promise explosive attraction. However, the success of "Sweet Trap" after its premiere made the entire professional world turn its gaze towards the talented female director.

Talking about the filmmaking process, Dinh Ha Uyen Thu shared: "When making this film, I have cultivated a lot of expertise. I watched the film a lot to put aside the way of storytelling with music, temporarily forget about how to make music videos to focus on cinematic storytelling."

All strengths in many years of working in the profession are refined by Uyen Thu in film productions. Although there are still many shortcomings, Uyen Thu is trying to transform herself to get rid of the "music director" body.
