Xiao Force V (shao force five) is a creator collective not focused about gaming the algorithm or hacking the system, but about making great work. Whether it’s perfecting a YouTube script, editing attention grabbing Tik Toks, taking stunning social posts or crafting your first pitch deck. It’s a collective aimed at elevating your output, and making on another level.

We never want to gate-keep information, so from Day 1 all of our information is public. We will publicly share regular blog posts, templates and resources to add insight to your creation process and inform you about the wider influencer framework.

We also will also provide bespoke, one to one services with a small group of diverse creatives to create cohesive digital branding, decks, copywriting and design to highlight their and express identity through their brand. This will be an invite only service to enable a direct connection with these creators, but it will be open to applications.



I have been making for a very long time, much much longer than the three years I’ve been streaming. I first started my video editing career over 15 years ago. I’ve worked with clients large and small from Ford to Mr Porter, GQ to Hello Fresh. I’ve created for almost every video format imaginable. Everything from vertical posts to TV advertising, trailers to short films. The music videos I’ve worked on have reached millions of views, I’ve worked on a feature film as an editor and colourist. I’ve editing podcasts for huge brands like Audible. I’ve created content that’s gone global, created versions for over 20 different languages and every territory across the world.

I’ve also got a degree in music production from the London School of Music. I’ve written and published writing covering topics of gentrification, food and cultural history. I’m also a portrait and event photographer and covered everything from weddings to EGX and I’ve shot some of your favourite creators. I’ve been the Director of Photography on short films, shot product shots for your favourite companies and I’ve filmed talent such as Tinie Tempah and David Beckham.

But I’m still learning. I’m hungry for new information, new insights, editing techniques, creative feedback and creative community. I am passionate about creativity and I want to share that appetite with others. People who want to improve their craft, make better content, create a digital legacy or just improve their voice overs. I want to learn with others, share what I’ve learned so we all make better stuff and build on it each and every time.

I’m NOT an expert in any of those fields. But I have experience. Experience that I want to share so that all of our content gets better. I want to share learnings so that we have a better critical creative eye so that when the platform tides inevitably shift, we have the skill set and knowledge to move with it.



It will be a while till we fully launch. We have branding of our own to finalise. We have talent we need to build out and processes to finesse.

But the flow of articles and information will begin very soon. We will be creating resources that you’ll be able to use in your projects, tips you can keep in mind when you film and we’ll be building on that body of information slowly over time.

We aren’t currently accepting applications for members of our stream team, but you can register your interest at the link below or sending us a DM over on Twitter.
