About

Brian Patrick Lim is a Manila-based filmmaker and multidisciplinary creative working across film, design, and hospitality.

His film work includes the award-winning horror short MARIAN, acquired by Crypt TV and ALTER; NENE, on which he served as cinematographer and co-producer; and his debut feature, Chasing Fire. His cinematography on NENE received nominations at the ReelWorld Film Festival and Vancouver Asian Film Festival.

In commercials and branded content, Brian has directed work for clients including Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Jollibee, KFC, PLDT, L’Oréal Paris, and Skechers. His earlier work in production and costume design also informs his approach to visual storytelling.

His work in hospitality brings together creative direction, brand development, interiors, and guest experience. At Coro Hotel in Makati, his responsibilities have spanned executive management and creative leadership, shaping the property’s identity through campaigns, renovations, food-and-beverage concepts, and cultural programming.

His projects across the hotel include Coda Rooftop, Sonata Spa, Mezzo Food Hall, Munch Hub, and the Lobby Library, alongside guestroom and suite improvements. He also developed the hotel’s Create Memories and Live the Now brand platforms.

Across these disciplines, Brian’s practice reflects an interest in atmosphere, composition, and how images, spaces, and details shape an experience.
