Profile

Carl Piaf
Canvas Productions
Executive Creative Director

Carl has decades long experience in the industry, with his first TV appearance over 30 years ago. He has professional experience as a screenwriter with Tencent, directed and written a number of short movies and music videos, acted in numerous international commercials, short movies, TV series and movies for major production studios.

He is extremely versatile: as comfortable at a keyboard, on stage, in front or behind the camera, or in front of screens coding AI systems or performing post-production.

He studied his master’s and doctoral studies in the early 90s in psychology and deep learning, the foundations of current AI technologies, and has extensive experience designing script to screen systems on standalone workstations, as well as being a consultant on psychology related issues.

Carl is also a professional circus performer (juggling and aerial straps) and a rock guitarist and vocalist with Mango Mayhems (with an upcoming concert soon) and as a solo performer.

2026 is a busy year already for him, with productions already set acting, stage directing, project managing an international AI project and performing rock concerts. As well as producing and directing media, Carl will be directing his own first stage play as part of Bangkok’s Fringe Festival in 2026.

One major focus for him in 2026 will be auditioning as a vocalist and aerial straps performer in 2026 for Britain’s Got Talent. He is hard at work preparing under the guidance of Thailand’s Got Talent’s second season winner.
