Jeremy Ho is a filmmaker whose work focuses on culture and social issues. He has covered the rise of youth in Pakistan, the working class in Korea, to the struggles of low-income residents moving from Dakota Crescent. He also most recently worked as a local production fixer for Street Food and Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones on Netflix.
Based in Singapore, his work has brought him to Pakistan, China, Korea, Japan, and Papua New Guinea, and has been featured at major international film festivals and on Channel NewsAsia, BBC, and Not Safe For TV (NSFTV).
In 2014, he directed Lahore Landing, an interactive documentary on another side of Pakistan not commonly seen in the media. It went on to be exhibited at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, the largest documentary festival in the world.
Jeremy works closely with clients like Ethos Books and Michelin Guide, directing and producing news features and documentaries. His video on the underwater rugby scene in Singapore garnered an EPPY Award, and his short documentary on the first Michelin-starred hawker went viral with 4 million views and won an Honourable Mention for “Excellence in Video Reporting” at the SOPA 2017 Awards.
He was a co-founder of Run & Gun Media, a media company that aimed to push boundaries in storytelling in the local journalism scene. In 2019, he moved on to pursue a deeper direction in filmmaking.
He is drawn to personal stories that lend themselves to events of cultural significance, and the relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit. With his foundation in documentary, Jeremy continues to develop hybrid work that weave together threads of authenticity and wry humour, speaking to our common humanity.
When not filmmaking, he enjoys taking long walks. In 2024, he became the third Singaporean to walk the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2,650-mile-long trail in the USA from the border of Mexico to the border of Canada.
He graduated from the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
