I’m Summer Doan, a producer and director based in London and Vietnam, specializing in narrative, documentary, and commercial projects. I’ve spent over five years producing and directing across commercials, documentaries, branded content, and social-first campaigns. 

​

I’ve worked with clients like Google, Amazon, TikTok, Unilever, Pepsico, Woori Bank, Shinhan Bank, Nongshim, and Royal Enfield, as well as media outlets including VICE and Channel News Asia. I’ve also directed social impact films for WWF Vietnam, Save the Children, and Our Better World. 

​

From 2019-2023, I created and produced original documentary series and helped build the RICE Channel TV platform, dedicated to Vietnamese non-fiction storytelling.  Recently, I co-produced the six-episode detective mini-series Blue Season (2025) and collaborated with independent directors on short films.

​

My work has been recognized with awards including Best Documentary for Land of Opportunity at the Starling Film Festival 2023 and Viet Film Fest 2025, and the Jury Award at the Kodak Commercial Competition 2024 for my commercial Rollercoaster of Flavours (shot on 16mm).

​

I hold a BA in Journalism and Film Production and an MA in Film Production. I also co-founded Caro-Journal, a published journal in Vietnam, which has released two editions.
