Sai Nyan Linn Sett is a scriptwriter and director from Myanmar, now based in Västerås, Sweden. Since beginning his filmmaking journey in 2017, his works explore repressed human emotions, reflecting Burmese society. Through storytelling and film, he portrays personal and ordinary lives shaped by Myanmar's social and political struggles.

​

Sai developed his skills through well-known training programs in Myanmar, including the Wathann Film Festival's Screenwriting Workshop (2018), Cineport Script Warp (2019), and AUNG Kinoclinic Script Class (2020). He is also an alumnus of the ASEAN-ROK FLY program (2019) by the Busan Asian Film School. His early short films, Father and Daughter (2017) and Way Back Home (2020), received recognition at Myanmar Youth Micro Film Contest and Wathann Film Festival, respectively. His most acclaimed work, Myanmar Diaries (2022), created as part of the anonymous Myanmar Film Collective, powerfully documents life following Myanmar's 2021 military coup. The film earned international acclaim, winning Best Documentary at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Currently, Sai is working on a short film addressing migration and displacement, and developing his first feature-length script of similar theme.
