Paradoxal + Residency

At Paradoxal + Residency, diversity in our work is fundamental. Moving across industries, formats, and scales defines our approach and makes us a creative asset to our partners. This year reflected that range and marked the opening of Residency Studio @residencystudionyc — our Brooklyn-based studio built to support productions, shoots, and live experiences. Thank you to our clients and collaborators for the trust. On to 2026. More worlds to build. 🎬 #paradoxalresidency #residencystudio #2025

#MeetTheResidents are back! Waley Wang @waleywang — a director drawn to quirky personalities and grounded worlds, heightened through colorful art direction and bold cinematography. Born in NYC and raised in New Jersey, Waley’s sense of humor comes from his delightfully weird Chinese immigrant parents — a perspective that shapes the humanity and bespoke tone running through his work. His projects span commercials, music videos, and brand films for @mcdonalds , @iberia , fashion brands across New York and Korea like @standoil , and artists including ALLY, Crowd Lu, and The Black Skirts (검정치마). His work has been featured on @shotscreative , @nownessasia , and at festivals including @berlincommercial , @asffestival , Busan International Film Festival, and lafashionfestival, where he won Best Cinematography. “For clients who need writing and ideation from the ground up, I’m always excited to get into the granular and figure out the most unique and heartfelt ideas that represent a brand’s vibe, work, and identity,” says Waley. In addition to directing, Waley is an avid writer. His short film script The Bloody History of Chop Suey was selected as a semifinalist at the 2025 BlueCat Screenplay Competition. Check Waley’s featured work in a carousel. #paradoxalresidency #creativevoices #filmmaking #directors
