Austin Chang is a producer and filmmaker. He founded Creative Class 6 to create the kind of collaborative, safe and caring space where creativity can thrive.  It is his strong belief that the way the people behind the camera experience their working environment directly informs the quality of what they capture in front of the lens.

As a multi-racial artist, Austin strives to tell stories of universal appeal that bring people of different backgrounds together to observe life through a common lens.  Having started out as a camera assistant on episodic television, feature films and commercials, he is always searching for unique ways to photograph each project. Austin holds a BFA in cinematography from the School of Visual Arts and has been a member of the International Cinematographers Guild since 2014. 

He is currently working on a documentary project “An Other Experience” exploring the experiences of mixed race people of varying backgrounds in the US and their journeys as they search for, lose, and re-discover their identities. In 2018 he wrote and directed his debut feature film, The Riverside Bench, shot entirely in Riverside Park, which was screened at the NYC Parks “Movies Under Stars” Program.

Austin enjoys taking walks with his wife, Sheily, son, Greyson, and their rescue dog, Benito, in Bayside, Queens. He spends many of his weekends in Upstate Columbia County, NY at his family’s farm.
