Linh Phan is a Vietnamese-Canadian creative producer based in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. For over 20 years, her work has centred on storytelling, content creation, and community-driven cultural projects. She was formerly a partner at Fact and Fiction Films, a Vietnam-based media production house specialising in art, culture, music, and community engagement.
 

Her portfolio spans collaborations with leading global brands including Riot Games, HSBC, WWF, Puma, Closeup, and Vinaphone, as well as work with government and cultural institutions such as the U.S. State Department, Institut Français, Goethe-Institut, and local Vietnamese government bodies.
 

Linh is the co-winner of two International Public Engagement Grants from the Wellcome Trust (UK), the world’s second-largest funder of health and science research after the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Over the past four years, she has collaborated closely with the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit Vietnam (OUCRU-VN) on public engagement initiatives that use digital media to amplify marginalised voices. These projects support communities in creating films about their lived experiences and health issues including HIV, zoonotic diseases, dengue, and malaria. Linh has spoken at international public engagement conferences, led digital storytelling workshops, and facilitated discussions on filmmaking and creative production.
 

Previously, Linh served as Marketing Manager at Thaole Entertainment, where she oversaw integrated online and offline marketing campaigns for international television channels including Asian Food Channel, Outdoor Channel, DIVA Channel, and History Channel. During her tenure, she grew Asian Food Channel’s online engagement to the highest level in Southeast Asia and produced large-scale live events featuring celebrity chefs Martin Yan and Anna Olson.
 

She is currently the founder of Hidden Saigon, a cultural travel company that offers immersive experiences revealing the city’s contemporary creative life through personal stories. Hidden Saigon connects guests with Vietnamese photographers, fashion designers, artists, restaurateurs, chefs, and local residents in their studios, homes, and workspaces.
 

Music has been a lifelong passion for Linh. Shortly after moving to Saigon, she began DJing and producing music events, becoming a key figure in the city’s underground music scene. She has brought international artists such as Bottin, Rodion, Trus’Me, and Voodoo Frank to Vietnam, helping shape Saigon’s alternative nightlife. Her parties have been featured in Lonely Planet Vietnam and Lonely Planet Southeast Asia as among the “hippest club nights in Ho Chi Minh City.” An active supporter of the creative community, Linh continues to collaborate closely with artists, musicians, and cultural producers across the city.
