Cheu Heng was born in 1992. He finished high school in 2010. He finished his bachelor degree in information technology at the University of Cambodia in 2014, but he has become a cameraman since 2009. Without any professional training about camera technique, he learned from his father who was a cameraman since 1990. His dream is to become a very excellent director of photography in Cambodia. Unfortunately, in Cambodia, training courses for general studies are not yet developed in film schools, so he tries to create many short films by himself and participate in many film projects as a camera assistant. He never let the chance go away and will keep chasing his goal to be a director of photography.
