Dandan Liu

Hi there! I’m Dandan, an Emmy award-winning filmmaker and contemplative creative living in Italy. 

As a self-taught filmmaker, I love foraging for unique stories around the world that illuminate the interconnections among us. I started making films while on a 4 year journey living in monasteries around the world. One film led to the next, and after persevering for many years, I found myself working full time on film crews and streaming my films on Roku, Apple TV, museums, trains, and airplanes. 

My highest work is helping others craft an authentic, creative, and mindful life- your unique work of art. I believe that knowing who you truly are is the foundation for flourishing in every area of life. So, I founded Unravel, a playful journey of self discovery, which has changed the lives of many people around the world. 

The best place to keep in touch is through my newsletter, which I've designed to be my virtual teahouse. Receive curated distillations on the art of authentic living and behind-the-scenes looks into my creative processes. Connect with me on instagram too, which is my shortform playground.

Cheering you on, 

Dandan
